Oak Park pretty

I am in Oak Park for a few weeks, to clean out my condo for the final sale the end of August. Oak Park in the late summer is so lush and green, it is really beautiful.  The trees are huge and rich with birds, squirrels, and BIG leaves. Home owners take pride in their front lawns and beautiful flowers.

The homes are large, sprawling, yet simple-they have typically been in family's for generations. Frank Lloyd Wright seems to have had an influence in all the architecture here; wrapping porches, windows for light yet privacy, space to breathe. This is not a Wright house, but the influence seems to be there. 

What I like most about Oak Park is the trees. They are old, huge, with a personality to match. There are many that would tempt a tree climber--in my younger days... :-)  

This branch would be the perfect place to hide and read. Oh, yea--great library to get those books! I definitely love walking these streets, no matter the heat-big trees for shade.
