I love this sort of intense! Nature's colors in the springtime are so special...lighter, warmer, more vivid. They catch out attention to wake us up from the winter blahs. You've seen it and presented it perfectly. And then on top of that, you've added some shiny cars to your composition...doesn't anybody drive a dirty car in Chicago? Reflections and sparkles...Ahhhhh. Nicely done Mark. So you!

How colorful and sunny photo! looks like a very cosy street in a big town. And yes, the spring colors are just warmer in toning, almost like early autumn.

Great autumn colors, Mark. Looks like you live in a nice part of town. Thanks for dropping by my friend. I appreciate you bro.fave/like.

Gorgeous photo! Love how crisp all the colors are.

Spectacular shot! Stunning colors. Well done.

First impression; very flamboyant, is it in show business? I agree with the others about the colors and the intensity. The tree and its neighbors combine to make a vibrant and beautiful sight. The tree seems to be leaning one way which seems to be confirmed by the street sign behind it.

Terrific shot

That's more like it. I prefer this aspect of your city!

well framed and captured image of this colorful city street

Simply refreshing and super intense unforgettable a beautiful shot Mark happy to view as always have a great weekend my friend!!

Just the thing for today! inside a warehouse or outside in the rain - I needed some light and bright - thank you

So LUV the autumn colors we are in Autumn now seen to be winter my least favorite season light and love back at you my friend.Take care Cheers

a pretty tree spreading life and light along the street. I like the way the reflection in the cars shed the light back, too. the cars somehow seem softened by the living tree.

Dang - this is just exploding with colors, Mark! What an amazing photo, my friend! One never thinks of this kind of clean, vibrant color when Chicago is mentioned. You should be shooting for the Chicago Tourist Bureau! This is lovely!

With reference to the previous image it seems to propose the motivation of the attraction for the City, the shining lance of the lyce that exalts urban colors .... but is it a trap?

Yowser----the colors and intensity in this shot just jumped right out at me. That tree has so many colors, I lost count!! Another gorgeeous city scene!!

Beautiful capture Mark. I like the colors very much.

This is one of the reasons I love Chicago so much. Well, that, and the fact that both times I've been there it's been in the low 70s and sunny with no wind! This beautiful scene is a lovely reminder of the day you, Marilyn and I walked all over the Near North Side. That was one of the most memorable days of my life! SUCH fun! (Did I thank you for that? If I haven't thanked you at least once or twice a year since then, I've been remiss. That really was a spectacular day.)

Dang that's a lot of color! Here all is a sea of grey slop.

wonderful city nature scene

That's what I like about City Councils, when they include, with their foresight and planning stages of creating Urban jungles, something green, something that comes to life with each season of the year... and you couldn't have picked a better example than this illustrated, colour popping image, to sell your famous City to me, thanks Mark ! it's intoxicating - even the parked cars seem to smile with the reflections of such striking beauty...

Such beauty and color in the city, it is the star that steals the show from everything else. Somehow nature always wins. Beautiful shot.

very colorful tree and plants

Mark, I absolutely ADORE this shot. The colors, the light, clarity, the composition. All about it. Hope some day, you will go back to photographing again. Or maybe just a week per month. Wow! you are brilliant at this.
