Way too long!

It's been way too long since I've posted anything here. I just noticed that the last pictures were posted in January! Lots of things going on -- too much to post here -- but I wanted to post this photo of my late Papillon, Mozart. In September, we moved into a new home that we built in Elgin, Illinois. Two weeks after we moved in, Mozart was snatched and killed by a coyote! To say how upsetting it's been for me and the family is an understatement. Now that it's been nearly six weeks since he was killed, the pain is still searing. It's going to be a long time before I get over it. I miss him especially in the evening when he would sit on my lap while I was watching TV or on the computer.

Sunrise photos

I usually try to be at work by 7:00 a.m. During this time of year, that usually means arriving during the dark (and sometimes coming home in the dark). One of the advantages, however, is viewing the sunrise from our part of the office building. The past few days we have witnessed some beautiful sunrises and I took our office camera (Nikon D-70) and snapped several photos. These photos were taken of separate sunrises over the Chicago skyline.
