Shelter Island, Labor Day

Thank you Irene

Turns out this Irene was a lady and left the party before too much damage was done. I put my baby car in storage and then it rained in my apartment a bit. All in all I am grateful, as I think we all are, that it wasn't as bad as it might have been. On the Upper West Side they were still queued up for brunch....surprise surprise. It's still New York after all.

Stormy weather

Chico pauses as he realizes a storm will be upon him.The eye of the stormGod I wish I could show you these pictures bigger - the sky was incredible.

snow day

Storm

this was from a few weeks ago in Wallingford, right before a downpour. I love rain and storms. I wish I could follow the storms around, but it is kind of difficult with a 4x5.

Lake Michigan, right off the tower in Wilmette, IL

just returned from an intense trip to Chicago, then back, then up to New Hampshire for an hour....1400 miles in 3 days...yikes! more pictures to come very soon, plus I have to get back to work on the baby project. Lake Michigan always impresses me with it's ability to look decidedly more ocean-like than lake.

Today it snowed in New York.

Riding out the storm

I love the picture at the top of this NY Times article from yesterday.

Ice on Lake Michigan

Another image of Lake Michigan from last week, because I can't get over how the ice was formed into these bizarre ice circles, like frozen jelly-fish. Went to see Pan's Labrinyth with Emily this past weekend, which I highly recommend, especially if you hate fascism.

Chicago is colder

Lake MIchigan. Cold but so lovely. The ice on the wires is from the crashing of waves up on the jetty.
