Stephen A. Collins, of Woodridge, took this photo of a tall sailing ship approaching the Chicago River on June 12 before a storm, one day after the city reopened. RELATED: How To Take Better Photos This Spring In Illinois Judy Enright, of Willowbrook, sent us this photo of her garden. She said that she had a little time on her hands during the pandemic, so she planted 700 bulbs. Nick Yasillo, of Tinley Park, got this wonderful photo of a group of American white pelicans, sometimes called a squadron or pod, fishing on Butterfield Creek near the Old Plank Trail.
