What we shall do now
And what we shall do
Later
From song and dream
To nightmare’s and evil
The rain’s over
The words immortal

Boy, I sure do miss living and working in Chicago. Here’s a view of the city from the Evanston campus of Northwestern University. The day had turned bright and sunny where I was standing but it was still rather gloomy 12 miles away in downtown Chicago, with the morning fog still clinging to the buildings.

Greetings—

Part ten of my series, “The Autumnal Purity,” captured at the Openlands Lakeshore Preserve. Once again we’re looking almost right into the middle of Hutchinson Ravine. Maybe come Spring I’ll muster up enough courage to actually go down into the ravine’s … the slope’s are very steep and, as it was my first time here, I didn’t want to chance it.
