Day 148 – “I do not know whether I was then a man dreaming I was a butterfly, or whether I am now a butterfly dreaming I am a man.” – Chuang Tzu
Safe Landing
Smell-o-vision
Day 147 – The lilac bush is blooming and it smells so sweet. I wish we had smell-o-vision.
Cartographie
Day 144 – One of my favorite Johnny Cash songs – “I’ve Been Everywhere”
Kakery Bakery
Day 143 – This photo is for my son. Every day we drive by the building that once was the Kakery Bakery. Too bad all the goodies are gone. I wonder if they moved or just went out of business.
Lincoln/Douglas Debate Malt or Milkshake
Day 142 – Freeport, Illinois is the site of the famous Lincoln/Douglas debates. It is also the site of the slightly less famous “Union Dairy” ice cream shop.
Backyard Blue Bells
Day 141 – The garden continues to come alive with color and I just can’t resist taking the camera out there.
Bird in Motion
Day 140 – I was walking around the yard enjoying this lovely spring day. This little fellow sat perched on the bush for a while and just when I felt sure enough to snap the shot, he took off. Luckily I caught him just in time.
Rockford Teachers Strike 2012
Day 136 – The school district and the teachers’ union could not reach a tentative agreement last night. Classes are cancelled today although more negotiation meetings are scheduled for this afternoon. I wonder what lessons will be learned from this experience?
*Full credit for this photo must be given to my talented son who took the picture because I was driving. Thanks kiddo!
Wanderlust
Day 135 – I dream of distant shores where the world is new and nothing is so familiar as to be taken for granted.
Onda Blomma
Day 134 – I thought the underside of this lovely tulip looked like a monster face with a long nose, so I decided to have some fun with it. The title “Onda Blomma” is Swedish for “Evil Flower”.
