Water Fountain

I hit Chicago Ridge Mall again this weekend. In the midst of our shopping spree I took a break and sat down next to the water fountains that looked more like sprinkler systems. This was my first attempt at capturing water. I've always been a bit intimidated and suspected blurriness because of the rapid free flowing motion of water. I took a couple shots and waited to see the outcome when I returned home. What do you think?

DePaul University

I miss going to DePaul. The university has made many more renovations since I last went. I went for an Alumni meeting the other day and reminisced through this old building.

Remembering Rome

I was looking through my travel pictures and decided to recycle one of my favorite pictures in this section. This was taken last year in Rome, while walking through the coliseum. Want to see more? Make sure you visit my ROME photoblog in the navigation above.

Warm Day in Winter

Today was such a nice day, definitely warmer and sunnier than the previous cold and rainy days that we had this weekend. They actually gave me a cold that I am now trying to fight off. As I waited for the light to turn green, after I exited the expressway, I took a moment to roll down my window and admire the sunset.

Melting Snow

I loved today's weather, 50 degrees F. I had a chance to wash my car, go for a drive and 'oh yeah' watch the snow melt.

The Snow Falls Over the Snowman

The snow will melt this weekend when the Chicagoland area may possibly hit the 50 degree mark. Soon we will have to say goodbye to our cute snowman that my siser and nephew created last week.
