Sorry for the silent blog 🙂 Life has been busier than the usual crazy and, my dad recently had double bypass surgery. So, two days ago, I took a road trip back home to be with my parents. He is doing quite well and will be home tomorrow. In the meantime, hope you enjoy one of my favorite bridges in New York.

lonely crown fountain

Normally filled with kids, laughter, water, and, splashing, this is a lonely Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

The pavilion with the funkiest name is also the most difficult to photograph, so, I decided to try a profile shot.

and so Christmas day 2017 ends

Goodbye Christmas Day 2017. It was wonderful to be with family and be reminded of how precious it is to care and support each other. It brought joy to my heart to think about friends near and far and be reminded of how my life has been surrounded with so much love and encouragement.  God bless you. Thanks, Christmas Day 2017, for a wonderful day.

as seen in Chicago

I spent some time in Chicago with some of my colleagues today. Here is a bit of what I saw. First, falling presents at Macy’s.

 

Everyone knows that if you find yourself at Macy’s in Chicago during the Christmas season that a visit to The Walnut Room is not to be missed.

 

The Bean (Cloud Gate) is like a magnet for photographers. I was unable to resist.

 

I saw two stars and a bean.

 

It was a beautiful day with unusually warm weather for December.

 

The London House (center) and… well…you know.

 

The Chicago River looking particularly grand today.

Thanks for stopping buy!

the L

Short for “elevated”, Chicagoans are always talking about taking the “L” to this, or, that destination.

the daily bread

Recently enjoyed an evening in Chicago with my bride featuring a wonderful meal and experience at Le Pain Quotidien, “the daily bread.” If you are ever in our fair city be sure to check it out!

A quiet moment at the start of the day on a bridge high above the Illinois River.

A chilly wind accompanied this sunrise whispering, “I am winter, and I am coming soon.”
