Sunset (enhanced)

Woods walk

The amber glow of a maple forest in the late afternoon autumn light, and long shadows on a crunchy carpet. Can you just hear it and smell it?

Hydrangea in autumn

The basket

It was a beautiful fall day here and Terri and I took Morgan for a walk in the nearby forest preserve. We came upon this mixture of fallen and live trees that made me think of the framework of a basket. I think what made the arrangement so appealing to me was that it happened all by itself.

You know I did

It's the first time I've been an early adopter. We have been waiting for the 5 for nearly six months because we wanted to switch from AT&T to Verizon. Figured it made most sense to switch when the newest model came out. VERY impressed with the phone AND Verizon. Switching was extremely easy. Oh, and 4G LTE is awesome-- rivals WiFi speed!

Great sky Tuesday night

Cozy

The Wall

It was in a bar bathroom in New Orleans, but when I saw it I couldn't help hearing British voices singing "We don't need no education. We don't need no thought control."

Chicago, Illinois

On the way in to the Emerald City to see the Great and Powerful Oz. Actually, on the way in to dinner at Cafe Ba-Ba-Reeba!, just one (large) beer at the German-American Festival, and finally, the Sons of the Never Wrong anniversary concert at The Old Town School of Folk Music. Yes, a great night.

Chicago's German-American Festival

Big steins of beer, brats and fried bologna on the grill, music, lederhosen, and people in funny hats. Good times.

Overcast, windy, and cold Sunday

Happy birthday, Pete

We discovered the southwest together. Without a plan, we took off and did things we never thought we could do and never would do again. It was a summer full of life and adventure that changed me forever.

On what would have been your 54th birthday, I remember you and miss you, my friend.

Remembering Steve

One year after his death, the legacy of Steve Jobs lives on. I had hoped that Apple would name the new iPhone the "Steve" instead of the iPhone 5.

An accidental picture

I was putting my camera (iPhone) back into my pocket and took this unknowingly.
