Crazy Storm
Chicago had a little bit of a storm last night and I decided it was worth trying to document….unfortunately capturing lightning with a less than rapid, rapid-fire mode is difficult. Lightning did strike twice though and I was lucky enough to catch it mid flash….so here the pictures are for your enjoyment.
Pride
Pride weekend celebrates the LGBT community in Chicago with an annually anticipated festival including a streetfest and a massively attended parade. While my pictures are mostly of some of the more colorful characters that were in the parade, they hardly capture the scope of this event. It ends up being a wonderful time to come together with friends, celebrate acceptance, really marvel at how far we’ve come as a people and just how far we still have to go.
Sophie
It’s always fun to have a little house guest around. As the summer concert season really kicks in to high gear and friends are traveling far and wide to catch their favorites shows, the care-taking of their dogs heads into the friend lotto. Sophie was the winning ticket this time. She’s been a blast and really made herself at home.
