150/365 - i am free


many times, though not always, when we have a foundation of personal freedom, we are only as chained as we allow ourselves to be. for all the people who've fought for the freedom, real freedom, of this country, or any other, i thank you.

149/365 - in which i miss the bridge, but enjoy the result



seriously i could never tire of chicago. i could wander for hours and never get far from all the things i would love to snap...

148/365 - city in fog


there's something i love about buildings half-obscured by fog, seemingly emerging from the ether...

147/365 - i walk in dreams


"That many dreams within dreams is too unstable..." - Inception

all those things we long for, all those places we have been, all those dreams we have of what we will do, and say, and be, and create... they all intersect at some point, crashing into our built up reality like a freight train. sometimes you can jump on and enjoy the ride. other times you are crushed.

so here's to jumping on, screaming at the top of your lungs, and going where your soul takes you, no matter where that may be.

145/365 - a tale of books, architecture, and bokeh

i would have pressed my nose to the glass in total drool over this bookstore, but my lens was in the way. having already had a full day, this had to be saved for another excursion. but i'll be back. and i might stay for hours.

142/365 - the day after tomorrow


i'd planned to do something more momentous for this, the first day after the world didn't end (again) - however it didn't work out that way. this snap was a quickie and not exactly what i'd planned either.

i've passed this cool old silo with its beckoning dark window many times, always wondering- why a window? what is the need of that? could you just tumble down a la' Alice?

and, more importantly - are there zombies in there?

141/365 - and i feel fine

Media_httpmedia365pro_chxhq

growing up with tales of a fiery, horrible apocalypse to come that would kill everyone not "special", i'm rather well inoculated against such things. i escaped, ran like hell, and never looked back...

i love my new camera bag. so much easier to tote my cam around. although on walking shoots i will need to find a shoulder strap. as a bonus, i keep thinking of janeanne garafalo in mystery men. tho hers was cooler for obvious reasons!

138/365 - gr8ful every day by lillithsnapped · 365 Project

Media_httpmedia365pro_zchdx
today i bought 2 books from that evil store. this was one of the lovely pages that caught my eye earlier today. i'm grateful every day for my life, for the people in my life, and even the difficult times because they make me who i am. without the specific formula of these elements, i would not be who i am. even on the days i question myself, and if i'm X{enough}, i can't imagine being in another more quiet, more ordinary life...

137/365 - forest path by lillithsnapped · 365 Project

lovely little trail in town - there's a huge swath of wilderness smack in all these little towns. reminds me of austin, and how from many areas you could walk through a clearing into the loveliest forest for a substantial hike...

136/365 - life is brief by lillithsnapped · 365 Project

it's so sad how sometimes the most beautiful trees bloom the shortest amount of time. however, i do love the way the petals blow around and scatter everywhere, leaving a carpet of beauty as they land. this one was on my windshield along with a few others, and i couldn't resist snapping a shot.

i love, love my canon lens cup from photojojo! it's super small tho for a coffee addict like myself - but... well, i still love it. i did, however, have to bang it on the counter to get the lid off, which caused me to doubt its fabulous-ness for moments. but then the spell settled back in around me, and i was again in love...

attempt at a straight-on selfie - usually i don't like my self portraits unless i get creative with angles and so forth. out of my comfort zone, but hey, that's growth right?

The Robot is Naked!

I drive by this guy most days.   He's ever the subject of rumination as to why one would erect a metal "scarecrow".   Today I drove by and he was in his birthday suit!  While I did not get to snap a photo, I had a hysterical laugh after the shock wore off.  I wonder what his next outfit, if any, will be...   I have to get a photo before he gets dressed again...  When I do I will post it...
