I use that title cautiously as this is technically the West Fork of the North Branch of the Chicago River. The river flows northward through the city of Chicago and somewhere in a close northern suburb Morton Grove, the branch forms which continues north and then just south of another northern suburb, Glenview, a fork develops which you see part of here. The fork eventually ends in Lake Eleanor - a tiny lake in a far northern suburb Lake Forest. This mostly flows through forest preserve lands but this section, in the image, is in Village Green park in downtown Northbrook. This was taken last Sunday morning and after the rains and winds this week, this whole scene is now mostly bare.

Well, having just read your comment following mine in respect to white tiger in colour by tigger, I was beginning to worry how to get my revenge and straight you come into my arms !!!! Hah !
How about painting this in reversed colours ! Now you got it.
LOL
Sweet, gentle and soft touch here - like on Japanese fan.
Beauty, although rather dark [could not help myself and had to have the very last pick on you LOL]

Lol! I'm laughing at SAM's comment, she always has something to say, and is so fun. This image is stunning my friend, the colors and especially the sheen on the water, really an attention getter. I took the boat ride down the Chicago river some years ago, that was pretty cool. Tigs♥ =^..^=

This is very pretty, I live near the Cuyahoga River and the scenery is very much the same. Great shot, love it.

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
