I may be too obsessed with photographically documenting the seasonal shift to spring, but every year around late April/early May, I make a point to revisit (and sometimes take pics of) my favorite running route, the North Channel Trail—stretching along the Chicago River from Argyle to Peterson. There's a two- or three-week window where it seems like every tree along the path is in bloom.
