This is a valley of ashes...a fantastic farm where ashes grow like wheat…
~F. Scott Fitzgerald
After my recent few days of snowy landscapes & icy lake shots, I thought I would offer a post from the warmer days of...November. Remember November? She was often warm, breezy and you could go outside without thermal underoos & a fear of losing fingers.
Have you had your Wheaties?

A room without books is like a body without a soul. (Explore)
~Marcus Tullius Cicero
New Year's Resolution: I have found that with each passing year of this internet age, I gather more of my information digitally (web, iPhone, Kindle, etc.), and spend less & less time reading actual books. And what's sad is I love sitting down with a good book and getting lost in the reverie of a well-written tome. So my goal this year is to make time to enjoy the sound & feel of turning a book's pages, rather than the click of a mouse.
Oversized books are always nice

The new year begins in a snow-storm of white vows. (Explore)
~George William Curtis
This weathered wooden fence & lakefront looks the same as this one, but this is North Ave. Beach in snow-covered Chicago, not the chilly shores of New Buffalo, MI.
But it's still a New Year everywhere! Happy 2010!
That's not sand

All I need is my one star in the sky, to wish for you everyday.
~Author Unknown
Even after living in Chicago for 15 years, I can honestly say there's still nothing quite like the city skyline on a clear day as the sun sets behind the skyscrapers. This was taken from the near-frozen lakefront looking up at the famous John Hancock building.
Move your mouse over the pic for a few other landmarks I've noted.
And speaking of wishes...on this last day of 2009, I wanted to wish you all a very happy & prosperous new year! May 2010 bring you & yours all that you hope for. :)
City of Big Shoulders
