Spring Has Sprung

A rather odd Spring photo, you say? Well, my dog Gertie has allergies and she's scratching like a flea bitten hound right now - a sure sign of Spring at our house! This is her newly filled prescription.

Relief is in sight, Gert.

The Doubletake

I had about 2 seconds to compose this shot. I wish the guy with his shirt open was in focus for all of you to see, but what made me smile was the looks on the faces of the three checking him out as he went by.
He was a real head turner!

Graffitti Under Glenwood

Today I embark on a new collaboration with North Mpls. I am one of 7 photographers assigned a day of the week (mine is Tuesday) to take a photo in the city and post it the same day for 365 days! (Sounds familiar, huh?)
Every Tuesday starting today I will post the same photo on my blog as I post for the Northside 365 Project. Wish me luck!

O'Hare Concourse C

I have been wanting this shot for 15 years at least! Every time I'm in Chicago I seem to be in a hurry or not have a camera with me as I pass through this concourse. This time I was ready! I took about 90 shots in all. This one won because the guy framed in white lights stopped to get something out of his bag at the perfect time!

Parting Shot

This is the back door to the Guinness Storehouse in downtown Dublin. I rode by on my way out of town and this was literally my last shot of the trip. Cheers to the creamy beverage that has everyone rushing to the pubs! Goodbye Irish!

Liffey River

I couldn't leave Dublin without posting a shot of the Liffey. Here she is in all her glory - including various walking bridges and hotels.
This is a very deceptive photo because the river and all that surrounds it are filthy, but with the blue sky and fluffy clouds, it's the perfect city scene.

Look Out To The Atlantic

I took this shot at 8:00 this morning on my way back to Dublin. When I asked the bus driver about the tower, he was kind enough to pull over and let me take a steady shot of it. (He also told me the entire history of it in Gaelic.) I couldn't understand a word.  I just respectfully smiled and nodded!
