This is the DuPage river in Naperville. It's a lot warmer today, and this weekend it was nice enough we went into town to look at the river and eat at Hugo's. The ice on the river must have been impressive last week. I noticed that the picnic tables from last April had been removed from the trees, but the ice had bent the railings down by the river's edge. Naperville must be constantly paying money for Riverwalk upkeep and repairs! Here is K doing her Zoolander impression in front of the river: We bought some girly stuff in Naperville too, including nail polish: And for no reason, a photo that a friend sent me titled "Meanwhile, in Russia..."

The DuPage river in Naperville is so low and clear that you can see the fish. This is a bluegill--I had to up the contrast in Photoshop so you can see it's colors, so it's a little grainy. The river is surprisingly clean--I did see a phone and a blinker barricade, but mostly it's just stream bed, and here some carp: I suspect like everything else in Naperville, it gets cleaned. The ducks are everywhere, too, which makes it difficult for fishermen to fish. We could really use less ducks and more rain right now.
