Hi there!

Hi, my name is Melissa Cryder.  I have lived in Chicago for 19 years. Chicago is one of the most beautiful cities in the U.S., if not the world.

I'm an amateur photographer who sees beauty in this city around every corner.

This blog is devoted to photos of Chicago "for all seasons".

Essentially, we have four seasons ... but mostly we have year-round construction.

In between the road blocks and scaffolds there is beautiful architecture, lots of fashion and lots of people doing crazy stuff!

Enjoy the photos.

Cheers. Melissa
