A Winter Day

 I love the snow and low hanging clouds of Winter. It makes the world seem smaller, in away. Everything is hushed and muffled.

Paddington

This is Paddington, my daughter's dog. He is an all around good guy!

At the Foster El Stop...

I travel on the El once a week down to Belmont...so, I'm here quite often.

Fritz and Melissa

I took this photograph about 1985 or 1986 of my brother Fritz and daughter Melissa. They are standing up in the hay loft of my grandparents barn. The Farm was a great place and was an actual working farm until about the the late 1960s. I Photoshopped it a bit to bring out their features since the original was dark. I like the way it came out, looking somewhat like an old tintype. (I love tintypes.)

 

A Beautiful Fall Morning...

on the way to work.

 

Another Cloudy Fall Day

This was taken last week on the way home from work. I always love the early Fall clouds; how they are so heavy and thick and hovering low in the sky.

A Fall Day

Stopping by the lake front last weekend on a rainy day.

 

Happy Birthday Sa!!!

Old Book Cover

This book cover is from our Special Collections Department. The book is about forests and trees, but I don't know the title, as it is part of an exhibit and the labels haven't been posted yet. I love the way the illustration is so detailed. The gold against the blue background gives it a bold yet at the same time delicate quality.
