Art Hill > September 1, 2009 Late Bloomer
We were so surprised yesterday to spot this single clematis bloom in our yard.  We thought the clematis were done for the season.  You never know.

The pond is looking good, the flowers are thriving, grass is in good shape and I just finished mowing.  I like the way the yard looks when the afternoon sun filters through the trees.  I had a hard time deciding whether to post this one or a panoramic shot

Art Hill > May 4, 2009 Chocolate cup
We had dinner at the Perry Street Brasserie in Galena.  We were NOT planning to have dessert but after our server described this we caved in. "A bowl of solid Swiss chocolate, filled with creamy dark and milk chocolate ganaches. Topped with fresh whipped cream , chocolate butterfly."  The chef came out and explained how he makes this.  He dips a balloon in warm dark chocolate, puts it in the fridge and pops the balloon when the chocolate hardens.  He also showed us the patter he uses to make the butterflies.  I'm telling you this was good!

These are cupcakes my wife made yesterday to take to my daughter's house today for our Easter brunch.  I can't wait to try one.
Art Hill > August 3, 2009 Lunch
We walked around Long Grove and had lunch. Didn't find much to shoot and the sun was kinda bright but grabbed a couple shots of this bee on some cone flowers. Thanks so much for all the response on my last couple of posts.

A water lily in our pond. I get such a kick out of going out to the pond each morning to see what flowers have bloomed.
Art Hill > April 13, 2009 Jill and I
My wife and I in my daughter's backyard.  We went to my daughter's for Easter Brunch.  It was a little cool outside but we all went out any way to enjoy the sunshine.
