Oak and Lasalle

Hanging out in the city tonight... decided to try out some night photography while the dogs were being walked... kinda like the way this one turned out....

Breathe....

Things can get frustrating...and I just have to remember to breathe and focus on something else... Picture of my little Simi sleeping.. well she was sleeping until I started taking her pic :)  There now, thats better....

Nonsense

Black Friday nonsense.  I trekked out to hit the sales and to my surprise, I really didn't care about any of it this year.  Unlike years past where I had the shopping route pre-planned, I went forth this year just for the hek of it.  Didn't really shop but people watched more than anything.  Its amazing how many down comforters and Pyrex people need.  (I went to Carson's)  I think I am done with this crazy commerical nonsense.

In anycase, I am exhausted from the broken sleep. 

Spent most of today drinking coffee, watching some silly European News channel on PBS (silly because I think its  European news produced for an American audience - I mean who out there calls it Soccer?) 

Now I am going through some old files (photographs, of course) and came across this one from Italy.  I have been so bad about the postings from that trip.  This ones taken in Venice - from the Guidecca side.
(Update: I finally wrote up some trip comments for Italy and added a few more pics from Siena and Venice)

Morning street

Tired.  Global business pains. Have to wake up early to make calls with the other side of the world.  However, on a positive note, I am gaining a new perspective of my neighborhood before day light.  My street this morning.... 

Good morning

Let the dogs out this morning behind the house and had to just hang out a bit longer.  Placid.  I went back and grabbed my camera, way too nice of a scene - and to think its behind my house.
