Another beautiful day here in Chicago, the temperature hovering around a seasonally balmy 40-something degrees.  Spent the afternoon at the Art Institute, which, despite several galleries being closed due to construction, continues to impress and amaze.

Galleries 200 and 201, the Impressionists, were truly marvellous.  No matter how many times you see Renoir, Degas, Suerat, Monet, Manet, etc. they can still provoke awe.  What a wonderful collection!
