We were downtown Chicago this past Saturday enjoying a brilliant day with family. We walked around a bit and took an Architecture tour on the Chicago River (to which that will be an altogether separate post!). But what I wanted to show you was this quick look at a working dog and see if you… Continue reading Scenes From the Dashboard – The Working Dog!

Happy Birthday Jamba!
Sunday was Jamba's 1st Birthday! It's hard to believe that he is already a year old! I think it is at this point forward that these pups really start to come into their own. They calm down a lot and really look forward to working. This is somewhat true with our Jamba. It just so happened… Continue reading Happy Birthday Jamba!
Sometimes It’s What The Tree Holds!
Can you tell from this vantage point there is a big grey blob in a tree off in the distance? Me neither. Getting a little closer, how 'bout now...

More Signs of Spring…More Birds!
Alfred Hitchcock would be proud of me. All these birds and all, though I don't think any of them will be causing panic, death and destruction like in that movie of his. So yesterday I'm at the kitchen sink and a bird flies in I've never seen before. I grab my camera but the photos… Continue reading More Signs of Spring…More Birds!
The Des Plaines River Crests at a Record High…
I'm not sure if you can really tell, after all this is from my car, but I wanted to take a photo of the record height of the Des Plaines River for posterity.

Scenes From the Dashboard — A Deluge of Rain!
Hi All! Northern Illinois was hit by a monster storm yesterday that dumped a TON of rain in a very short amount of time. The ground is saturated and whenever this happens around here we get flooding.
