The challenge this week for You Capture had three different options. One of the choices was GREEN. It should come as no surprise that I chose green!

Last weekend my Dad, World's Cutest Brother, and I went to Chicago to visit Baby Sister. After dinner on Sunday night we went to the Trump for drinks on their roof deck (called The Terrace at Trump). Baby Sister and I love going to their bar, Rebar for drinks, but I had never been to the Terrace. The views from the terrace are beautiful. And there are beautiful planters with succulents. Lots of beautiful green to photograph.

I know there isn't green in these next few photos, but check out the view from the terrace.

And a few views of the Trump:

Isn't it a beautiful building? For some reason, I just love it. And at 92 stories tall it is hard to miss from most spots in the city.

I am also participating today in New Friend Fridays with The Girl Creative and Trendy Treehouse.

Great pictures! I grew up in Chicago so the last few make me homesick.
Hi Alissa, I have some of those very same succulents, so was delighted to see that you have them also!! Maybe I should use a photo of them in my Friday Foto to share with you today, off to have a hunt around. Those Chicago photos are amazing!

HI Alissa. All your photos are beautiful but I love the one of the river with the buildings on both sides. Very dramatic and yet serene at the same time.
I am hoping you can tell me how you placed the links to your popular projects on your right side bar. I am looking to do something similar but I am not sure where to start.
Thanks so much
