The Chicago area missed out on the Lunar Eclipse since we were busy getting a few inches of snow. I've enjoyed looking at the photos from observers who were able to see -- and photograph -- the eclipse. Here is one I found on Flickr.
This blog deals with the day-to-day life, interests and rants of a married suburban Chicago baby-boomer, i.e. one of my general height, weight and build.

Sunflower photo
I like to take sunflower photos, but mine are mainly of flowers we grow in the backyard. Here's a real nice picture I found on Flickr. It looks like it might be HDR, but none of the tags associated with the photo indicate that it is HDR.

Sedona in the Snow
Here's another Flickr favorite -- this time from Flickr user Laura Travels.
Although I lived in Arizona for a couple of years, I never did make it up to Sedona in the wintertime. Wish I had!

Grand Central on a Rainy Night During the Holidays
Another HDR photo from Flickr user: stuckincustoms.
I was a regional marketing manager for a large national bank in the late '90s and was responsible for the Chicago, New York and Washington, D.C. markets. Our office was right across the street from Grand Central on 42nd Street. Although I used Penn Station for my local travel, I would walk over to the main concourse and just watch all of the activity. I can just imagine what it was like in its heyday.
More information about Grand Central here.

Polar Express
Another in my series of Flickr favorites. This was one of the first photos I "faved" in Flickr!
