She Was Like That When I Found Her

Sometimes in life a little rain must fall, sometimes a house. You’ll know which is which if you’re a wicked witch.

Secret Code

I found this hidden message emerging from the snow. I think it’s in Morse Code, does anyone know the meaning of dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot dot? I’m starting to wonder if their keyboard got stuck.

Abode of Dog and the Snowman

Snow falls as day turns to night at the abode of Dog and the Snowman.

Reaching for the Door

Eastern Fox Squirrel

An eastern fox squirrel sits on a park bench in Irving Park on a foggy December day. We have two species of tree squirrel you frequently see in the city, foxes and eastern grays, neither is native. We have native squirrels in our forests but I’ve rarely seen them.

Dog and the Snowman

Also a good name for a folk-rock band.

Light in the Darkness

Christmas Cat

Ellie and I spotted this orange tabby while on our walk one sunny morning, and he certainly spotted us, freezing as he climbed between the wooden slats of the porch and watching Ellie intensely as I took his picture.

Water Finds a Way

There is a playground near one of the entrances to Irving Park, a while back they added these water features so kids could cool off during the summer. The city shuts the water off in the cooler weather when nature brings her own water, normally as rain, but sometimes snow or fog. These pictures are from a few days apart, at the top of the hill is my beloved dog park where in both pictures you can see people playing with their dogs.
