Ode To Joyce Kilmer

Joyce Kilmer penned the poem starting with "I think that I shall never see; a poem as lovely as a tree..."

Mood & Tone

These are personal favorites for no other explainable reason other than I like their mood and tone.

 'Red chair, Green Buddha'

 'Natural Light on Fake Plant'

 'Solitude'

 'Window Dressing In Stitches'

'Butt On In'

(The Chicago icon, Billy Goat Tavern.  No photos inside, but through the door window is fine.)

GREEN As Islands In The Sea*

*from The Color Kittens (a Little Golden Book) written by Margaret Wise Brown

 "The Birches"

 Fence posts designed by Louis Sullivan

 Central Camera

Marshall Field's Department Store Clock

(Macy's took over the building a few years ago; 
nothing will raise the ire of a Chicagoan 
than to refer to MF's clock as  the Macy's clock)

Life Finds A Way

To & Fro: What I See

I enjoy living in a large city, because 1.) there's all kinds of things hidden both in lost corners and in plain sight; and 2.) the smallest shift of lens or posture you wouldn't believe it's a photo taken in it...

 Rogue Iris

 The Fool's Errand

 From The Valley
