Veiwing Chicago through the Iphone.

NBC 
I took these shots with my Iphone, not bad considering I was on a moving train and shooting through a dirty window. I used the Kaimal Lens .

Iphone Shot

I really like to use my Iphone. The phones camera has a lot of cool editing Apps to play with. I used the  Hipstamatic app on this one. The hipstamatic program has a lot of differant lens I can use that will give different effects.

The South Shore Line

I took the train into Chicago,  Most of the time it is full of people. On this day Hum..  felt like I made a  wrong turn.  After a few stops it was standing room only.   Thank goodness!   I knew I was on the right track.

Meet Lucy!



‎"A dog is the only thing on earth that will love you more than you love yourself." - Josh Billings

I had my grand-pup for the weekend. Lucy is 1 year old. Full of  a lot of excitement and love.  I haven't had a pet in my home for about 10 years now.  LOL!!  I forgot  about how much attention they need.

The Chicago Bean

The sun is coming to a days end in Chicago. This is the Bean.  Reflections of the city on the bean can be overwhelming to ones eyes.

This is another view of the bean.  I'm under it looking up.  Cool view I must say. Click photo to enlarge.

Said goodbye to a Dear One today.


Virginia, 11-24-1913 to 11-15-2010

I give you this one thought to keep - 
I am with you still - I do not sleep.
I am a thousand winds that blow,
I am the diamond glints on snow,
I am the sunlight on ripened grain,
I am the gentle autumn rain.
When you awaken in the morning's hush,
I am the sweet uplifting rush,
of quiet birds in circled flight.
I am the soft starts that shine at night.
Do not think of me as gone - 
I am with you still in each new dawn.

The Horrible Horrible Sound.

On Saturday November 6 at 5 am I was awoke by a awful sound,  It called itself the Snowplow.  I was shocked it snowed! So early NOV 6th.  Snow this time of year it has done before, but to get 3 inches, I do say I was very surprised.
 The first snow is always the prettiest  too take in all her beauty.  Unfortunately my schedule for the day didn't allow for  exploring,   These photos are from my yard. Enjoy!

A Burning Down Sunset

New Buffalo Michigan Lakefront

It sure is pretty to watch, but with a temperature of 36 degrees and 50 to 70 mile winds, and to top it off with blowing sand, it isn't fun to feel. This is called winter is almost here. Burr!

New Buffalo Michigan Lakefront

One of my Favorite place to be. This old Dune has not much left, as with the change of the times all things must change.
These were taken Nov 1st, a beautiful cool fall day. In a few hours later everything changed.  I will post more soon.
