Engagement Photo
Emilia and I went back to Schiller Park where we got engaged to take some photos. The proposal happened in February on the coldest day of the year, -20F. These photos were taken during the hottest day of the year (so far) 92F. This also marks the first time that a photo of me has been posted, and yes, I’m supposed to be blurred!
Schiller Park Squirrel
While in Schiller Park (where we got engaged back in February) to take some photos of ourselves, we came across this very tame squirrel. Evidently, we were in the way of her trying to get to some food as she passed right beside us, pausing momentarily to pose.
Calm
To me, she is showing the definition of calm, with just a hint of a Mona Lisa smile. I couldn’t decide on the color or B&W version of this photo. Click on the link at the bottom of the photo to see the 2 versions. Please leave comments on which version you like better.
Chicago Bean
This is the Bean in Chicago’s Millennium Park. Officially known as the Cloud Gate, it was designed by Anish Kapoor, a British artist. By the time of its completion, the cost had skyrocketed to 23 million dollars, from the initial estimate of 6 million. Makes a nice mirror to put your makeup on, huh ladies?
Daisies by Emilia
It was bound to happen sooner or later. When you are getting married, things change in your life. Just as I make room in my life for Emilia, now there is room on this photoblog for her photos. We took a walk while attending the Hawk’s 50th Wedding Anniversary and found these beautiful daisies near Acme, PA. On a side note, Emilia will have these same flowers in her bridal bouquet.
Golden Anniversary
This wedding cake topper is 50 years young, just like Bob & Janet who celebrated their Golden Wedding Anniversary. As Emilia and I look towards our own wedding in September, we rejoice in knowing that love can, and does last forever.
