The sensory garden
I didn’t have but a couple of hours at the Chicago Botanic Garden, so I made the time I had work for me. I found potentially the highest ground of the garden with an obscured view of the water through...

Orion on purple
I’ve decided I have a lot to learn about shooting night skies. It was never of much interest to me, and so I never worked at it more than a shot here or there. This was probably my latest attempt from...

Saint Clair
My favorite streets are the secondary routes like this one off of Michigan Avenue. The sidewalks are packed one block away, full with tourists and shoppers. Here they are open and calm. It’s like the...

Spanish moss at the lake
There’s nothing like a lake in Central Florida. Somehow they all look this way, complete with decking going out to boat launches and Spanish moss hanging from most of the trees. I’ve seen alligators...

Blue car, blue trees, yellow light
That yellow-gold glow in Chicago from the streetlights helps the blues stand out. This dusty old car was left standing illegally on a cold night last year in front of a residential skyscraper. To...

Napalm Christmas
I can sense there will be a ton of Christmas lights on the blog this December. I’ve stumbled across quite a few brilliant displays, and by brilliant I mean intelligent. I don’t get into lavish color...

This will probably be the last snow shot I post for some time. I might have one or two in my pocket that I can pull out on a sunny day, but I’m not sure I’ll go back to them before it snows again, and...

Private park vertical
This is the vertical view from a little park on the west edge of The Loop. It’s a funny little place, because it might be private, but you can’t tell. There are no signs up saying you’re not welcome,...

The trees & the vines | A full year of blogging
As mentioned, this is officially the end of a calendar year of blogging in this space. Thanks to the leap year it required a 366th day, although I finished the 365-day-straight photo posting yesterday....

Abbreviated tree line
I have a very good memory, most of the time. If you put a list of 20 things in front of me, then take it away after I’ve read them over twice, I’ll remember 19 of them (in order) the rest of the day....

The stand alone
Not sure why this tree was left to the middle of the expanse while the others were given the opportunity to congregate, but it always stood out to me as I drove US 190. I’d forgotten about it until...

True for a while
I’d been mulling over the idea that time might not exist as we think we experience it and finally looked it up. I see it’s been a topic for a few years in quantum physics. Kind of makes me wonder if I...
