My son in law graduated from Moody Bible Institute today. The ceremony was held at Moody Church, Chicago.

We have had a rainy spring, so I thought it best not to walk on this dock while the river was a bit higher than usual.

It’s a 1989 FLHTC, Police Special. It’s loud, ornery (don’t you just love that word?) and in the repair shop…. but soon we will ride again!

jay pritzker revisited

jay pritzker pavilion 3

Hope you are not getting too tired of all these Chicago images! This is the Jay Pritzker Pavilion at Millennium Park, Chicago. I have officially given this crazy pavilion the title of “the most difficult location/structure/….thing to photograph…. in the universe!”  I have a couple of other images of this pavilion here and here. The beautiful, asymmetrical design of the architecture, along with the network of tubes that are suspended above the grassy area to hold the speakers for the sound system, all create a “busy” location to try and photograph. Still, it is a beautiful pavilion, and serves as a centerpiece of the recreational and concert life of Chicago.

This is the amazing suspension rope bridge at Maggie Daley Park in Chicago. This park is a stunning play place for kids. The bridge is a wonder to see, play in, slide down from and walk on!
