The Biggest Awening I Ever Saw


This was from where I was sitting at the restaurant at Dana Point. The awening was huge and just beyond was the beach and some boats and for some reason I don't remember why I didn't take pictures of that. Oh well, here's an awening.

Dana Point Restaurant


Stopped off to have lunch. This was the lobby. I forgot the name of the place, but the view was great, as were the drinks.

Under Stairs


I was under a wooden staircase and liked the light.

Family at Dana Point Beach - 1998


I just started taking photography classes and took a trip to Dana Point.

Old Trails


Almost the enitre city of Hot Springs is a National Park. These trails run above the bath houses and are absolutely beautiful. I go there every year to take a walk.

Bath House


One of the old bath houses that has been recently renovated. Classic and elegant! Can't figure out that smudge in the sky!

Valves


These valves control the hot water entering one of the bath houses. They collect it from the hillside, cool it in tanks and then run the water into the buildings.

Central Hot Springs


The water runs out of the hill into this wading pool. It was SO hot that you couldn't stay in for more than a few seconds. There's dad smiling back left!

Friends & Family


In Arkansas in Novmeber to visit mom & dad. There's mom to the right talking to her friends. They had some guests come over. Had a lot of fun with the family.

Cluster Of Light


I held the exposure open and zoomed in on a cluster of lights...light speed!

Another Tunnel of Light


Couldn't resist

Tunnel Of Light


Never seen so many Christmas tree lights strung up! It was fun to play with the camera here!

Palm Springs - Christmas 2006 - Light Show


The entire park is lit beautifully, had a wonderful night!

All Shapes And Sizes


We took the architectural tour in Chicago that takes you through the river on a boat, and as we returned to the dock I couldn't resist. You can tell a lot about a person based off the shoe they wear.

Union Station - Commuters Arrive


People started coming in, it was later in the afternoon and I knew I had a few minutes before it got crazy.

Union Station - Main Room


The view to the tunnels is blocked by the clock, but you still get the idea.

Union Station - Calm Before the Storm


In between scheduled arrivals and departures.

Looking At West Chicago


Linda's mother & stepfather live high atop the SkyBridge and what a view! Chicago from up here was captivating. I couldn't stop admiring the view!

The SkyBridge Building


We had an amazing view of the city and the building across the way.

Changing Weather


Coming back into the city from Highland Park. Driving along Lakeshore Drive.

Nice Day In Chinatown


Chinatown is small compared to San Francisco's but fun and full of cool shops, good food and lots of color!

View From The John Hancock Building


The pictures don't do it justice! Amazingly there are spiders perched in their webs up here!

Inside The Green Mill


We sat near the entrance so the music wasn't too loud. Loved the fact that I could smoke indoors!

The Famous Green Mill Bar & Lounge


Uptown Chicago...Great bar with a lot of history.

Chicago Union Station


Almost got ran over by a blind man who didn't hear me by the railing.
