Another Moon Picture

What a gloomy and cold day today was. The only pretty thing I saw today was the moon.

Mad Holiday Rush

Another Christmas has passed and I survived the shopping frenzy. The malls were packed, the cars were lined up for miles. I fought and argued with no one over a parking space. I bought my gifts and gave them away. I even went to the day after Christmas sales unscathed. I'm looking forward to do it all over again next year :)

Birds Of A Feather

I can picture old men with those white tank tops sitting like these birds... just loafing around the porch bench watching the people pass by.

Flying Through a Friendly Sky

I no longer live directly under the landing path of the airplanes. However, I do still live 5 minutes away from the airport and don't mind seeing the marvel of these giant metal birds pass by.

McCormick Place Lakeside View

A look from McCormick Place - Lakeside Center. I stepped outside from one of the conference rooms and took in a long deep breath. The cold didn't let me stay out there for too long.

Happy Holidays

Our Christmas decorations are up, the centerpiece for the dinner table reflects the holiday times. I'm almost done with my Christmas shopping :) I'm hoping the season will lift up my spirits.

Me & My Shadow - la la la

I took my car to get an oil change today. While the work was being performed I took a long walk, fell down (Yes I fell down), got back up and took pictures along the way. Here is one of my shadow, looks like the abominable snowman doesn't it?

How was my Thanksgiving you ask? It was Nice...

It was Thanksgiving day and Charlie wanted to do something different. Instead of going to the park he wanted to take a walk by the lake. I normally take him by the lake in the summer, I guessed he missed it, so he dragged me out to the cold. We geared up in our winter attire and took a drive by the Shedd Aquarium. After seeing this picture I realized Charlie needed a trim, and have cut his long beard and the fur around his eyes, since. He looks years younger now :) You wouldn't know from this picture but he is only three years old (21 in dog years) but by no means as old as he looks here.
