The return?

It appears I can now blog from my iPad, but will I?

Lucky Ladies

This was the view from the Ladies' Room at the Chicago Shakespeare Theatre earlier tonight, 3/11/12. Sorry guys!

Light at Dusk

I'm still here! It has been quite a December. I've taken a photo nearly every day, but haven't been able to post them.  Stay tuned as I try to make up for it over the next days.

Meanwhile, enjoy this lovely view from the first day of December.

Setting Sun

 This was taken at 4:10pm (roughly).

 This, too, shifted a bit left to get the contrails.

This was 15 minutes later, deeper, pinker, and oranger.

Ketchup 3

 These two (above and below) really deserve their own post. They are from the same day, morning and afternoon. Beautiful.

Flecks and Swoop

 Flecks.

Swoop. From Tuesday, 9/20.

Backblogging: Dusk Collection

These were all taken from my new camera phone, and downloaded in a batch without dates. I do know they are all from July 2011. That's the best I can do. Pretty, huh?

Backblogging: 500th post! 5 gorgeous views!

Prairie meets lake.
Clear water, smooth round stones.
A sandy beach with driftwood--or is that a lioness napping between tufts of grass on an African plain?
Humans meet Lake.
Sunset over Southport point. All from June 2011.

When I started this blog nearly 3 years ago, I could never have predicted what was to come: nearly 30,000 pageviews, a google hit with a post about icebergs, an art exhibit of some of these very photos, visitors from all over the world. But the thing that keeps me blogging is the reason I started in the first place: a reason to notice and share the beauty of this great natural wonder that is part of my very lucky everyday existence. Thank you for visiting.

Blue Milestone

Pretty photo of water, sky, clouds at dusk today. Lakemichiblog surpassed 25,000 visits today. I never would have imagined when I started this in September 2008. Thanks to all of you.

Glowing

Radiating pink and purple off the icy patches. At dusk, Wednesday, 2/09/11.

Paging Mr. Tumnus...

From Tuesday, 2/8/11.
