Orange A-Frame

When I first laid eyes on this beautiful orange A-Frame beach house a few years ago with the full moon rising behind it, it was love at first sight.

Freezing a perfect moment in a photograph feels magical. The way sunshine hits a tree atop a building, an airplane in just the right spot, neatly manicured hedges behind a fancy fence, a peach colored building against a gray Chicago sky, a strangely dignified looking parking garage, and the Sears Tower from the roof of Whole Foods Lincoln Park.

From a beachside rainbow to the Alys Beach dragon sculpture and regional bumper stickers, this collection of snapshots resembles postcards one could imagine seeing in a gift shop. Greetings from the Florida Panhandle!

I miss Instagram’s old square grid. There was something stimulating about the collaged effect of the squares that has disappeared since they changed them to vertical rectangles. Because of this I’m finding myself using Tumblr again after a long hiatus. Here are some collages of things I’ve found inspiring lately.

All the photos are mine except the Grant Wood painting.

Brushstroke with Spatter by Roy Lichtenstein (photo by me)
The Midnight Ride of Paul Revere by Grant Wood
The Parisian Novels by Vincent van Gogh (photo by me)

Superdawg

The Superdawg Drive-In on Milwaukee Avenue is such an awesome Chicagoland institution. My favorite order is a Superdawg with a Pineapple Supershake.

The pickled green tomato on the side is unique and delicious. We’ve also been to their location in Wheeling which is very nice!
