Evening on the Wire
Day 261 – The birds that migrate through this area find some room in the tree line. But some birds like a better view from the guide wires of the large cell tower.
Thrill Rides
Day 260 – We spent the day at Great America. Watching my guys ride those roller coasters made me think about all the thrilling rides life has for us. Some times you get to strap in and fly through the air. Sometimes a parachute opens up and you have a soft landing. Other times, life is just a crazy series of ups and downs and your only safety gear is a light heart and a good sense of humor.
Water
Day 259 – We got quite a storm today. It knocked out the power at our local theater right in the middle of a good movie. But we need the rain, so that’s okay.
Seagull
Day 258 – I was going through some old photos today and I came across this one. We were at the Lincoln Park Zoo and the seagulls were out near the food court looking for lunch. They are quite used to people so it’s possible to get fairly close. But don’t expect them to pose if you don’t have a tasty morsel for them.
Black-Eyed Susans
Day 257 – The last of the black-eyed susans in the garden. The garden continues despite this hot, dry summer.
Summer Nest
Day 256 – We discovered this little nest in our backyard tonight. I am not sure if it has been abandoned or not. Guess I’ll have to keep an eye out for mom and dad.
A Good Drive
Day 255 – “What other people may find in poetry or art museums, I find in the flight of a good drive.” – Arnold Palmer
Having Fun
Day 252 – Having fun doesn’t cost anything, has no age limit and no height restriction.
Singing in the Rain
Day 250 – “Anyone who says sunshine brings happiness has never danced in the rain” – Author Unknown
