Evening sun on the way home...

I like the way the sun glows off of the buildings and the snow covered stairway that is now abandoned. There are older photographs and paintings of Evanston that show El tracks and stairs as they were; when they were still being used. Time passes.

It's a busy life...

Here we are at the Swift Condominiums, located at the edge of beautiful Lake Michigan. It's dinner time for the kids and so everyone is busy, busy, busy.

Sweeper in the afternoon sun...

A room with a view

We recently moved into a new and somewhat larger apartment. It is bright an sunny, although you wouldn't think so from this shot of the bedroom window! I've never lived this close to a brick wall and I find that I sort of like it.

Another piece of home...

This is an old Japanese print that hung in my grandparents' house. I remember it from way back and feel fortunate to have it now (well no one else wanted it...). It gives me a strong connection with my family and my past.

I like the parrot passing by. That was one of those things, you know, that at the time you just have to have, and then later wonder why. There were two, believe it or not; one had a fatal accident...

Home away from home

I love being at home. Being a Cancer, (ie: crabby), I guess that all fits. Over the kitchen sink is mounted a serving plater that belonged to my grandmother. It is an old blue transfer pattern piece that has a larger idyllic country scene, ringed with flowers on the border. When I do the dishes or make dinner I love looking at, so I know it well. This small part is my home away from home.
