Sky Drama

This tree is by the side of the road on my way home.

I often get stopped at a light here.

It is the perfect angle for sky drama.

Rememberance

God Bless

Those who sacrificed

The old days

This old house has been sitting vacant

for a long time now.

The sky was really blown out in the photo

so I thought I'd do black and white.

This effect seemed to give it a timely look.

In my mind... I can hear children laughing in there. 

Clouds

It rained like crazy

into the afternoon

Then the sun came out!

Pretty clouds on my way home. 

Flowers

I have been waiting patiently

And finally they are here

Happy!

An Old Barn

I finally got around to getting a shot 

of this old baby before it's gone.

It was on the fly as usual

I was on my way to a baby shower and this road is on the way.

Not far from where I live. 

There is an abandond old house on this property 

that I will show in another post

Eye

A Raccoon Update

Well I checked with the Forest Preserve staff and they

know all about this little lady.

She is a young mom with kits nearby 

that has taken to foraging both night and day for 

her litter of young.

I have been informed she is normal and healthy.

God put a smiley face in here

just to brighten my day!

Canon Digital Rebel w/60mm Macro

Zero photo editing. I got lucky and I

kind of liked the clutter in the background.

Chicago

This is a part of one of the gardens in 

Millenium Park ~ Downtown Chicago

This picture was taken last summer and 

the composition is not great 

but that is where I have been.

I promise this summer I will go back and

take some good shots of this place.

It is amazing!!

What used to be an ugly old rail yard is now a fantastic music venue, home to the "Bean" and much more.

A Forest Creature

I drove a short distance to the Forest Preserve 

just to take in a little spring on this 70 deg day

 and low and behold this little bugger comes 

jumping out of a trash can.

In broad daylight!

with a snack in his chops

He wasn't liking how close I got

So hightailed it up a tree

He still didn't like me much

I think he is hissing at me!!

Light

The sky never fails

To provide beauty

Have a great weekend!

Weeds

I guess it's official

Spring has Sprung

I thought this was a particularly pretty clump

 of the dreaded weed

Today

It's a beautiful Spring Day!!

Green sprouts everywhere.
