Indiana Sunset

A beautiful Indiana sunset.  Mom and I were driving to our cousin's house for dinner and pulled over for this shot.

The Old House

I visited my buddy who I used to rent a room from.  The guardian of the front door is still at his post!

A lovely house on Beacon Street

I literally stopped my bike ride in it's tracks to take this picture!

Chicago Sky in "the Bean"

All I see are fingerprints!

Spice it up!

Rocking the kitchen one Saturday afternoon.

Merry Christmas

I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas.  Thanks for looking at my pictures.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoy taking them!

Project

Here's a little project I've been working on!

Guaca-mustache!

My entry into a guacamole contest at a holiday party.

Lights!

Lights!

Christmas Cookie Crime

Do you know the Muffin Man?

Christmas in Cambridge

That's a lot of decoration for one little yard!

Industry!

I really like wind turbines!

Lincoln Park

A street in Lincoln Park near the L... I think it's Armitage, but I honestly don't remember.

Watch Dog

The watch-dog across the street from my sister's apartment in Lincoln Park.

Purdue!

Can you see the forrest through the Trees?

A hike in the Cascade Mountains.

Sunlit Trees

Colors!

Seattle Park in the Sun

Bhy Kracke Park in Seattle.

Early Morning Taxi Ride

One of the few times I've been in a taxi in Boston and probably the only time by myself.  It's 5:45am on my way to the airport.

Walk With a Smile

Walk with a Smile... or drive your car with a frown... or just ride your bike!

The Family Matters House

This is the Family Matters House in Chicago.


(Sorry if you have seen this before, I had a little slip with my postings)

Rusted Roost

Get it?  Rusted Roost?  Did anyone else listen to Rusted Root back in the day... or continue to now?  Ok. Just me.

Faucet Flowers

I found these at the Cape.  I suppose you don't have to water them very often.

Swan Pond in Boston Public Gardens

Chatham Lighthouse

Chatham Lighthouse in Chatham on Cape Cod.

Cape Cod November Sunset

November Cap Cod beach sunset... at about 4pm.  I'm ready for longer days.

Cape Cod Beach

Beautiful but windy day at Cape Cod in late November.

Thickly Settled

Apparently these signs are common for the New England.  I never saw one before my trip to Cape Cod - and now I find them hilarious.

Holocaust Memorial

The New England Holocaust Memorial in Boston is a must see if you ever visit the city.  It's right on the Freedom Trail - a path that takes you past all of the historic sights in Boston.  The memorial is pretty moving.  Here's a picture of it at night.

One if by Land, Two if by Sea

This is a view of the Old North Church at night from the fountain in Pall Revere Mall in the North End of Boston.

Water Feature

A different view of the Customs House (clocktower) from the Rose Fitzgerald Kennedy Greenway in Boston at night.

Copley Square Bike Naps

The Boston Public Library in Copley Square with cyclists napping on the lawns across the street.

Tall Bikes

I would love to build a tall bike someday when I have space for a workshop.  But for now I just have to wonder how they get on and off of those things!

Sunset Ship

Looking at the Olympic Mountains across Puget Sound from the top of Queen Anne in Seattle.

Mountain

The Cascade Mountains in Leavenworth, WA.

Spee-ider

Any fans of Megamind out there?

Thanksgiving Leftovers

I love making a "Thanksgiving Leftover Burrito" with Thanksgiving leftovers.

Apartment Space Needle

This is a shot a few blocks from my old apartment in Seattle... great city... great views!!!

Ode To Yats

I'm going to break my new photo blog tradition for a quick Ode to Yats.

Yats is one my favorite traditions when I return home to Indianapolis.  I ALWAYS stop by for a meal.  It's a Cajon Creole quick food restaurant with incredibly delicious food, a wonderful atmosphere, and overall a great personality.  The workers are always in a great mood and greet you with the cool cat, laid back attitude shared by the gracious owner, Joe - who can be frequently found clearing tables and running dishes out to patiently waiting customers.

To any visitors to Indy, I highly recommend stopping by for a casual meal - there are locations downtown, in Broad Ripple (the original and best location), and on the north and south sides.  


A huge plate of food costs about $7.50.  Their menu is always changing (it's written on a chalkboard in the picture on the right below) so you never know what to expect.  You can try a dish before you buy it to make sure you'll enjoy it.  If you can't decide, go with most popular Chili Cheese Etoufee and you will be sure to love it!

I love YATS!

John Hancock Tower

This is the John Hancock Tower in Boston, not to be confused with the Old John Hancock Tower (now the Berkeley Building).

John Hancock Tower, Boston

Lamp Post Graveyard Freedom Trail

A Gas Lamp Post, a old Graveyard, and the Freedom Trail - all in one picture (and some tourists).

468 Beacon Street

On the Ceiling of the Duck Tour

Look up during a Duck Tour... not at the buildings but the roof over your head and you might just see something like this!

Duck Tour Kilroy

The Big Dig

I can only imagine what this view would look like if the Big Dig never happened.

Green Line Tunnel

Oh the Green Line, Boston's Oldest and most painful subway experience.  The sudden turns of the over capacity cars as they whip down a 100 year old track is an experience that starts fun and quickly degrades if its your daily routine.  Luckily, I live along the Red Line and only get to experience the Green Line on occasion.  I recently had such occasion and took a picture of the tunnel for your viewing pleasure.

Blue Lights at Night

Old Building, New Lighting.  I like the glow of the blue lights behind the columns at the Christian Science Center in Boston.  It makes for an eye catching photo.
