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. :)

"Pardon me, but are you going to stare at me while I eat? I mean, that's quite rude, yes? How would you like it if I came to your home & started monkeying around (what?--you think we didn't know that's what you say behind our backs?) while you're having your morning Nutella & banana? No, doesn't sound like much fun, now does it? Well then--run along now, won't you? Thank you & good day."

I love his expression: "Did I hear someone say they're serving Turtle Soup? Isn't there anything else to eat????" Don't worry, Nemo's friend is safe & well. :)

This shy & sunlit fella wasn't quite ready for his close-up. But then, what do you expect?--he's just a kid. Ha! Did you see what I did there? OK, nevermind.

A table, a chair, a bowl of fruit and a violin; what else does a man need to be happy?
~Albert Einstein
I don't usually do straightforward still-life shots, but the simple charm in the way this small, family-owned local market had their fresh fruit laid out was so special. Homemade ceramics, handwritten signs, and warm afternoon light coming in off the street...perfect.
