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.
Lincoln/Douglas Debate Malt or Milkshake
Nun’s Orchids
Day 130 – Nun’s Orchids using a few filters and color adjustments.
Mr. Lincoln
Day 126 – We say “Good Morning” to Mr. Lincoln every day on our way to school.
Large Leaf
Day 98 – This enormously large leaf caught my attention. I love the symmetry of the larger veins and how the smaller ones look like a spider web. Also, the water splashes on it remind me of paint.
Everyone Watches The Winning Pitch
Day 97 – As our attention turns to the upcoming baseball season, I wanted to share this picture. It was taken at the Brewers playoff game last summer. The end of the game had everyone’s attention – even the Hot Dog guy, who put down his cart of red hots to catch the exciting final moments of the game.
Summer Boats in Winter Waters
Day 96 – These summer paddle boats are all ready to go. Too bad the weather isn’t warmer.
Companions
Day 95 – I saw this man and his dog down by the river. He was struggling to adjust his load while his dog waited patiently. I heard the man reminding the dog to stay and wait and he would give him a treat in just a minute. They seemed to need each other very much.
Pink Orchid
Day 94 – I spent some time at the local Conservatory this morning. They have transformed a humble green house in to an amazing and breathtaking experience.
Looking Back
Day 93 – Looking back – something I try not to do too often. Looking forward is where it’s at!
Double Date
Day 92 – I don’t really get in to Valentine’s Day but these happy couples seem to be enjoying themselves.
