<br />
Illinois played Northwestern in Wrigley Field yesterday.  The last time they played there was 1923, no football has been played there since 1970 when the Bears left.  We went over to Lori's too watch the game.  Keir graduated from Northwestern.  The rest of us are Illinois fans.  We won.<br />
<br />
Obviously the flash reflection ruined this picture but it's all I have.  Have a great Sunday.
  • November 20 2010 Free lunch<br />
<br />
I thought there was no such thing as a free lunch but I was wrong :-) Spotted this guy during our walk on New Smyrna Beach, Florida.  Thanks for the fantastic response to yesterday's post. I can't believe that 4 of my last five posts have been birds. I doubt that I've ever posted 2 bird shots in a row before.

  • November 18 2010 Reflecting<br />
<br />
We're back home (and it's cold). So glad to have internet access again. After we parked our car on the beach (see yesterday's post) we took off our shoes and walked through the water.  Ran into a group of these little birds.  I thought it was cool the way they were reflected in the wet sand.<br />
<br />
I got quite a few good bird shots down there  <br /> <a href="http://arthill.smugmug.com/Vacation/Florida-2010/Birds-Florida/14709178_qPaVx#1095644928_f8ZrC">http://arthill.smugmug.com/Vacation/Florida-2010/Birds-Florida/14709178_qPaVx#1095644928_f8ZrC</a><br />
<br />
Thanks for your comments while I've been gone and posting at odd hours.
  • November 17 2010 Just driving on the beach.<br />
<br />
Posting this for tomorrow since I don't have much internet access.  We drove miles on the beach today.  Apparently this is the only place in the world you can do this.  It started back around 1900 when they raced cars in Ormond Beach.  That eventually become the Daytona 500.  The beaches are all hard packed sand so they let you drive on them and park.  We saw a lot of people sitting in beach chairs next to their cars.  Kinda weird.<br />
<br />
Back to Chicago tomorrow night so by Thursday I should be back in the regular POD routine.  thanks for hanging in there with me.

Pelicans at Daytona Beach.<br />
Posting this late Monday night from the lobby of our resort since they do not have internet access in the rooms and I won't be able to get on in the morning.<br />
<br />
I posted a cool pano for yesterday at<br />

Drives me nuts not to have internet access and email.
  • Nov 15 2010 Hall of Presidents, Magic Kingdom<br />
<br />
4 image pano.  Handheld at 12800 ISO in a pretty dark theatre<br />
<br />
Posting this really late on Monday.  When we got to our place Sunday night we learned that they do not have internet access in the rooms - only the lobby.  Sheesh
  • November 14 2010 Enchanted Castle - Magic Kingdom<br />
<br />
We had a magical day at the Magic Kingdom in Disney World yesterday.  Got to the park around 10:30 and left at 11 PM.  Had to hand hold night shots so went to ISO 3200 but I thought this came out pretty good.<br />
<br />
I had to post yesterday post today due to uploading problems.  check it out<br />

  • November 13 2010 Botana<br />
<br />
A sampling of traditional Mexican favorites; chicken tostada, Chilorio sope and cheese empanada.<br />
 We had this at the new Mexican restaurant in Epcot.<br />
This is actually yesterday's post.  I had all kinds of trouble uploading, don't know whether is was smugmug or hotel internet.
  • November 12 2010 Downtown Disney<br />
<br />
Hand held,1/8 second, 3200 ISO<br />
I'm not going to be able to comment much for the next few days.  We'll be out all day.
  • November 11 2010 Last splash of color<br />
<br />
Most of our leaves are down but this Japanese maple next to our pond hangs on till the very end. When the late afternoon sun hits the red leaves really stand out.<br />
<br />
Let's remember all those who have served to protect our country,<br />
<br />
President Woodrow Wilson first proclaimed an Armistice Day for November 11, 1919. In proclaiming the holiday, he said<br />
<br />
"To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with lots of pride in the heroism of those who died in the country's service and with gratitude for the victory, both because of the thing from which it has freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations."<br />
<br />
Armistice Day was celebrated on November 11th to mark the end of World War I.  In 1954 it was changed to honor all veterans and renamed Veterans Day.
  • November 10 2010 Summer Fun in November?<br />
<br />
We all went over to Amy's house after school yesterday. Braden and Scarlett were working the bubble machine. Lindsey and Kyle were over at the side collection rocks but Lindsey decided to head over to check out the bubbles. It is very unusual to be outside without coats in November around here. Temperature was way above normal.
  • November 9 2010 Scarlett and Lori<br />
<br />
Yesterday was Lori's birthday so Jill and I took her and Scarlett out to lunch.
  • November 8 2010 Hot off the press<br />
<br />
Thanks for the great response to yesterday's post.  Here is Kyle holding the newspaper showing the front and back.<br />
(We actually published 3 separate newspapers over the weekend).<br />
Apologize for not commenting all weekend it was impossible to get any online time.
  • Nov 7 2010 More newspaper shots<br />
<br />
Kyle and I are making another newspaper. He thinks these shots up and then directs me how to shoot them.  All starring him of course. Then he writes an article for each one.
  • Nov 6 2010 Kyle shooting and Braden watching<br />
<br />
<br />
This is one of the shots for Kyle's newspaper.<br />
We're babysitting the boys this weekend so no computer time :-)

Our youngest grandchild (3), at our house.
  • November 4 2010 Joey and Jake pondering the election results
  • November 3 2010 Decline of a tree<br />
<br />
The tree people came out yesterday to remove the fallen branch from my neighbors tree and unfortunately most of the rest of it.  The tree provided a lot of shade and will be missed.  You can see what's left in the lower right hadn corner.  The first three pictures are ones I took of storm mishaps starting in 2001.<br />
<br />
Update:  I just went out front and shot a picture of what they cut off of this tree.  Have a look <br /> <a href="http://arthill.smugmug.com/Photography/November-2010/14492127_osCqn">http://arthill.smugmug.com/Photography/November-2010/14492127_osCqn</a>
  • November 1 2010 Kissing cousins<br />
<br />
As we were all saying goodbyes after our Halloween brunch, Braden's Mom told him he missed saying goodbye to Lindsey. In a flash he went over to her and said a proper goodbye. Maybe because we had been calling him McDreamy in his doctor costume? I think it was everybody's favorite photo of the day. My wife suggested that I post it here.<br />
<br />
I'm going to be gone most of the day so won't have much chance to comment. Thanks for all the nice comments on yesterday's post of the grandkids.
