there are some beautiful views on Chicago's south side lakefront. be it the lake, the city, or these little flowers...it's my favorite place to snap a few dozen pics.

down the road a piece, a train actually came along this line. i saw it as i crossed the tracks from the other side, so i stopped and got some pics as it came through. i was MUCH closer to it when it first came. there are two sets of tracks about 40 feet apart and i was between them shooting as it came into view.

Rooster

roosters roam everywhere on Key West. they're in low-income neighborhoods and the parking lots of 5-star hotels. they strut down the main drag, and hide on porches on side streets. and they're all so very colorful. reds, yellows, teals, greens, blacks, blues...you can find all sorts of colors on different ones, and some have almost all of them.

my wife...a little overexposed on the Naples pier. seriously, i played with this shot for half an hour and even when the exposure was so high that only her eyes showed up she was still stunning!

Bicycles on the porch
