We were there with binoculars and guide books in hand, but, unfortunately, the birds were not. Due to weather conditions, many of the migrating birds had already flown over their usual stop on their annual trek back north....

It was cold that day, but can you image how packed this place must be during the summer months. Lake Michigan was beautiful. The pier has an indoor area with lots of shops and places to spend your money too if you're so inclined....

This past week all our hard work finally paid off, as our group headed out early Monday morning for the Windy City. According to Wikipedia, "Chicago is the largest city in the state of Illinois....

Who doesn't love a llama, especially a cute, fuzzy little baby? Maybe I should start at the beginning though.   It all began this afternoon, while helping some fellow Judson girls print shirts for their upcoming trip to New York (they turned out wonderfully by the way)....

This is only compounded when a thick fog and mists roll in. There's something indescribably beautiful and soft about a fog on Judson Campus.   Look! I've been praciticing my bird photography!

When eight-o-clock (the bright one) rolled around we headed out to watch some birdies, clutching our hot coffee and wrapped up in layers of clothing against the cold. It was interesting for me to notice how much goes on that we never really pay any attention to....

I usually get a surprised, "What? I though you were an art major!" whenever the subject comes up. But I promise you, I really am a biology major (I even threw in a chemistry minor for good measure). As a result of that life choice, I take lots of science classes....

At this rate I should be an expert, but I always seem to mess something up. Thanks a lot, Murphy, I don't appreciate you and your law very much. This week, art club worked with the Restoration Week crew to print up some fabulous t-shirts....

Cooler, frosty air greets everyone in the morning. The heaters are on and everyone has a holiday cold. Well, maybe not everyone, but I certainly do. I woke up this morning, looked out my window and noticed that the front lawn was covered with frost. Not one to miss a photographic opportunity, I rushed out and grabbed a few shots of the leaves in their lacy coverings....

The past few weeks have been a blur of activity, with a to do list a mile long. Sadly, that has left me precious little time for my favorite pastimes, the absolute most-favorite being, of course, photography. Just as my days are jumbled, so are my thoughts, so I apoligize ahead of time for a haphazard, collective, update kind of post....

Leaves are falling everywhere, the weather has gone bipolar, young women are running around whacking each other with hockey sticks and, most disagreeably, I'm cold again. Tomorrow is Hockey Day, one of the favorite annual traditions here at Judson College. It serves as the perfect outlet for the stress and frustration accumulated over weeks of this semester....

Correct me if I'm wrong.). There were plenty of people milling about and lots of beautiful architecture. Here's some of the photos I snatched while we were there. Yes, crying velvet Elvis!

We got a group together to go to the air festival, where they had quite a few old planes. The weather was beautiful – bright and sunny, not too hot and not too cold. It was nice to get out and see people from the community. In the afternoon, Laura and I took photos of Ashley and her fiancé, Travis, for their engagement....
