This is one of the panels at the Chicago O’Hare airport as you pass through the tunnel between the B and C concourses.

The beautiful color and flavor of summer.

Trees

Just a clump of trees growing on the edge of the sand dunes. I loved the color of the sky behind them.

Part two of the sunset series. Wish all my days could end with such a beautiful view.

On our drive back to Green Bay on US 2 in the upper peninsula of Michigan we stopped at the sand dunes to watch this amazing sunset.

Planes might get you to your destination faster, but you just don’t get to see interesting things like the 5 mile long Mackinaw bridge. If you ever find yourself on US 2 in the upper peninsula of Michigan you should check this view out from the Burger King parking lot.

This shot was taken at dusk. Interesting to see the difference between this one and the first one that was taken at the height of the day.

This just made me laugh.

One Way

I wonder if the rabbits know that the trail is one way and don’t you think that the rabbits should be allowed to go faster if there are looting raccoons?

I just think that it is hard to take a bad picture of Black-Eyed Susans. There was just gorgeous on a beautiful August day.
