On the way back from Chicago (on I-55 South) stopped by Pink Elephant Antiques. This place presents some great photo ops.
I have been wanting to stop by this place for a long time now – not for the antique mall, but for few photo shots š
I will plan on posting few more pictures from my visit to this place in the next few days.
Knit tree – a snapshot from our trip to Morton Arboretum.
And there is my son and his cousin checking out the knit tree.
A classic perspective shot from my recent visit to Chicago area.Ā We stayed with the family during our trip and this is shot of the hallway just outside the place we stayed.
As soon as I saw this hallway I made a note to self Ā to shoot this hallway during my stay there. I had to venture out when the kids went to bed so that I could shoot this classic perspective shot š
Had a chance to visit MortonĀ ArboretumĀ in Lisle, IL with family today and shot this during our visit.
Not exactly sure what this building is used for..but it appears to be store room. I was drawn by the colors and repetition on this cute little building.
Another shot from last week when we visited zoo in Chicago area…
There is no better way to cool off on a toasty summer like day than with a popsicle š
Has been a busy week fixing my 5+ year old PC. Over the past 5 years it has got too much software/junk and it had gotten to point that it needed a fresh start.Ā So I was busy getting it back in shape, keeping things clean/organized and didn’t get much time to shoot.
Finally this evening spent few minutes in the backyard shooting floral blooms. When I saw this climbing rose, I knew I had to do a abstract shot.
Shot this using my Sigma 150mm macro lens.
Another shot from my trip to Chicago area last weekend…
I took multiple pictures of this fire hydrant and I like this best among the other shots. I like the way my daughter and her cousin are checking out what I am shooting.
I wonder what my daughter is telling her cousin – I bet it’s something along the line “my Dad always does that” š
That’s my wife’s niece enjoying herĀ Popsicle on a hot summer like day during our visit to the zoo.
It’s been an unusually busy weekend. Had to visit family and friends in Chicago area (did I say summer holidays have arrived) and had a good trip…
Shot this last evening as we were getting back from our evening walk with the family. As we were getting back, I noticed the kiddos holding hand-in-hand and their dadsĀ holdingĀ their respective kiddo’s hand. I thought it was a sweet moment..
I think I will be busy processing other photos from my trip and catching up on my fellow bloggers post(s) rest of the week š
That’s my daughter swinging up in the air at a park close home this evening.
With the schools winding down, kids seems to have more time to burn and we took that as an opportunity to visit a park this evening. Kids get to play, wife get to relax, and I get to shoot pictures. It’s a win win situation š
