From Navy Pier

Rainy days make some of the best days for touristy activities.  Yesterday was one of those days.  And while I have shared many photos of Navy Pier these were taken from the end of it looking out onto Lake Michigan and back at a portion of the city.  I love the quiet of these images.… [Read More...]

Tulips and Tea

Lukus and I spent this weekend apartment hunting (right now his work is putting us up).  During a break we took some time to lounge around Millennium Park.  The park (as is true of the rest of downtown!) is beautifully manicured.  The park’s gardens, coupled with Lukus’ casual Saturday look (complete with Green Tea) made for… [Read More...]

It celebrates the commonality of our species while simultaneously setting us apart as unique individuals.” -Greg Graffin, Punk Rock Musician turned College Professor
