A Quick Visit to Beaver Lake

Growing up I’d often go to my grandparent’s lake house in Nebraska. But in my adult life, I have rarely had the opportunity to get out there. During our trip to Iowa to see family, we made a quick visit out to the lake. I snapped a few pictures of the evening.

A Chicago Sunset

There was a wonderful sunset tonight. Here are some pictures from my back porch.

A day of beauty

I’ve been trying to remember to bring my camera around with me more often. Good thing I did. Yesterday on my walk to class I spotted soem tulips. Also, I spotted a nice redbud tree. Later that day the sun began setting and the sky looked beautiful. Here is a sampling of yesterday’s beauty.
