Roadside
Am heading out traveling again Friday – so much to get done between now and then!Today’s pic – a fantastic snack-stop and vegetable market somewhere close to Kumasi. I washed some of the dust off, had a great grilled plantain, and rested a bit.

Stumbled into this tiny neighborhood shrine while looking for a shortcut.

night lights
It’s raining and cold here in Chicago, so one from the past. This urban river was reflecting the lights of cars, bikes, and the nearby crosswalk. I tried several shots until I just settled on leaving the shutter open until it felt right. Got this.

Just off 321 in Robertville, SC, I was doing family history with my grandmother when I took this shot a few years ago.

Chicago
In Chicago for a few days attending a conference. Hope to get out of the hotel a little and explore – with the camera of course. So far, I’ve noticed the pizza is better than expected and Michigan Avenue shops are not exactly in my price range.

close encounter
We really were allowed to get this close, and he really was this cute. I think I woke him – and then he posed perfectly for me.
awwwwwww…

light
My new lamp. Truthfully, it’s about 4 months old but until Sunday was desperately in need of assembly. Then there was an issue of conversion, changing the plug from Australian to US… but it’s together now and happily lighting a corner in the house.
