Art Hill > September 9, 2009 Monet Bonanza We haven't had any water lilies for quite some time now but I saw a few buds getting ready. I was thrilled yesterday to go out and find all five varieties in bloom at the same time. This is the first time this has happened. Look closely and you can see two pinks, one white, one pale yellow and one burgundy. Got down as low as I could for this one. There's a shot from the other side of the pond here http://arthill.smugmug.com/Photography/September-2009/9512286_mY6ex/1/#643910439_djSir-A-LB Wasn't sure which one to use for POD.
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.
Art Hill > June 19, 2009 View from our deck 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 http://arthill.smugmug.com/gallery/8438262_cuF7L/1/#568140410_vZtGC-A-LB If you happen to look at both and have a preference let me know.
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!
Art Hill > April 12, 2009 Happy Easter 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.
Art Hill > July 5, 2009 Lisle Balloon Festival The first hot air balloon event I've ever been to. Got quite a few pictures of course but will only post a couple here. The rest are at http://arthill.smugmug.com/gallery/8786340_yU2Kg#581691805_LA5kY
Art Hill > November 18, 2008 A swan at the Maui Hyatt
Art Hill > December 27 2009 Winter Wonderland Yesterday morning the weather forecasters said we would have light snow showers ending around noon. It snowed all day and "light" was not a word that came to mind. When I cleared the driveway around 5:30 we had about 6 inches. Some of the towns not far North of here got 13 or 15 inches. We probably got another inch or so. Except for clearing the driveway I wasn't even outside yesterday so shot this out the back window. That's our pond near the center. I tried to capture the falling snow but didn't have much luck so I shot a 10 second video http://arthill.smugmug.com/Photography/December-2009/10522001_3Wvqw/1/#750622886_A6EfB-A-LB Update: George I don't use a shovel except to "push" the snow off the porch. For everything else I'm just walking behind a snowblower.
