No Swimming

No Swimming

No Swimming.  I took a deep dive into my archives for this image since I was unable to get out and shoot today.  From August of last year, this was taken along the lakefront in Chicago.  I found it interesting the “No Swimming” sign right in front of a ladder to the water. Day 355 of my…… Continue reading No Swimming

Stencil Alphabet Fun

Stencil Alphabet Fun

While working the second day of the rummage and art sale at our house, I decided to have a little stencil alphabet fun.  Because a day (or two!) of standing around trying to sell your used junk can be very tiring!  I took a ton of shots of lots and lots of things, but like in most cases, simple is…… Continue reading Stencil Alphabet Fun

Mixed Signals

Mixed Signals

Which way should I go?  I’m getting some mixed signals.  Left or right?  I don’t like either direction.  Hmm, perhaps I’ll just stay put in the middle for a while.

Gone Camping

I’ve gone camping for the weekend.  Everyone needs a way to recharge, a place for contemplation, a way to collect thoughts, and to R E L A X!  Being at a campsite in a tent and being out in nature is my way of doing all those things.  So for today’s image, it is a quick…… Continue reading Gone Camping

Lamp-Lite Motel

Lamp Lite Motel

This is the Lamp-Lite Motel (or at least the sign) along US 51 in Portage, Wisconsin.   Now, I have to say up front, I’ve done just a wee bit of work on this one (see below).  Taken in June of last year and finally processed today, I was driving toward Baraboo looking for a particular…… Continue reading Lamp-Lite Motel
