Color

This past week I was driving and noticed the leaves on a few trees have already started to turn.  It is still August and yet those yellow, orange and red leaves were already peeking through the sea of green.

I will certainly have to get my camera out this fall and take some photos as I am working on my photography skills and look forward to new seasons and settings.  In fact I just went to a college bookstore to buy myself a photography book to teach myself a bit more before finding a new class on the subject in which to enroll.

Walking through a store a couple days ago and seeing all the school supplies out on display the colored pencils caught my eye.  Maybe the finders can use them to sketch or draw or just to write in a fun color or they can always add them to a child's back to school bag.

Chicago

Traveled to Chicago this week for work.  One of my favorite cities to visit with arts, culture, restaurants and architecture!  What's not to love!  I was mostly in meetings but grabbed the chance to walk through the city a bit. 

Saw the new faces at Millenium Park....

and the Bean

and left a few $5 Starbucks gift cards at the Art Institute...

 Hope the finders enjoyed!
