(25) something pink :: I almost forgot about today's photo... thank goodness for the flowers across the street from the office and some afternoon sun! The weather has been absolutely perfect the last week and supposed to last thru the weekend. Gotta get out and enjoy some of these beauties before they are gone!
(22) hands :: this is where my hands spend 75% of their day ... I log waaaaaaaaay too much computer time in a day. I'm workin' the mouse all day at the office and then come home to all my RSS feeds.
Oh and did you notice my Missoni for Target score under my computer? So excited for a spur of the moment ottoman find. There were a hand full of items in the store, but they were all scattered about and way in the back of the store. I even got $20 off because this particular item was a return from the online store. Sweet!
P.S. If you haven't tried Feedly for your RSS feeds yet, do. It's fabulous!!
(21) faceless self portrait : Simply a beautiful Fall day here in Chicagoland. I decided to pop over to the beach to snap a quick pic. This beach is about 10 blocks from my house and I so do not take advantage of it. Note for next year ... more beach time!!
I cannot believe it's October already!! The leaves will soon be changing and the air will become crisp and I will escape for a quick week to the Aloha state! I am hopeful October will be an excellent month!!
(20) bokeh !! I love bokeh! Finally got the Fall decor out - twinkle lights make for excellent bokeh! This is my other kitty, Lucy. She and I had a date with the vet today for her annual check up. She's all good, but gained a pound and a half in one year! Yikes!! Gonna have to put my girl on a diet!
And for a little bonus bokeh from earlier this week ... a little Chicago skyline.
Hope you are having an excellent Saturday! The sun is finally out in Chicago, but it's still a little on the cool side... So I've stayed in catching up on magazines, DVR, photo editing and all things that are refreshing and relaxing. It was a very long and crazy week last week.
(18) my shoes :: these are a cute pair of flats that I got in Stockholm, Sweden a few years back. I love, love, love them. Those Sweds are so stylish. It's the one thing I really noticed while walking around Stockholm. People of all ages were dressed so naturally stylish - lots of great jackets and scarves. Young and old!
Outtakes from last nights' long exposure... sat the leica on the dash to see what I would get. Sometimes things are fun when not in focus.
(16) long exposure :: hello chicago! 27 sec exposure watching the clouds overtake the city and the rain begin to fall. Only fired off about 10 shots before it got too wet, but I think this one is a keeper!
Took this shot east of Montrose Harbor. Not a whole lot of people out since it was raining, but I did see a raccoon diggin' in the rubbish bin for tonights dinner. Eew!! Oh and I think my 8 gig CF card is on it's way out. Been acting funny lately and not wanting to create folders. Which brings me to a question for you photographers out there... do you "erase" images after each shoot or do you "format" the card after every shoot??
(14) eyes :: "The beauty of a woman must be seen from in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides" Audrey Hepburn
(13) me with thirteen things :: This was easy - I love the website The Burning House. It's a feed of people from all different ages, countries, interests that take a photograph to represent what you would take with you if your house was burning down. Super hard to pick amongst my belongings because I like 'stuff.' But when it comes down to it, there are only a few things that I would really need if the house was burning down.
