So there were a bunch of horseshoe crabs at Pickering Beach too.
I flipped quite a few of them over so they could make it back to the water.

But after seeing a lot of “pairs” of crabs…
I think there may have been a lot of nookie going on last night?!!!

Along the shore, the road was scattered with horseshoe crabs and a few puffed fish. Looks like they might have come in with the tide, and didn’t quite make it back when the water receded. Most of them are flipped on their backs. A few still looked like they had a little life left in them… so I flipped them over and watched them slowly crawl towards the water.

So here’s the same shot.

The first one is what it looked like out there.
The second one is the same shot with the camera flash on.
Lighting up the mist in the air and showing how thick
the water was in the air this morning.

Yesterday was a beautiful day in the park…
and they’re forecasting that today could be even nicer. If that’s even possible?!
Bring it on!!!

And the park we’re in is pretty darn beautiful too…

A field of dandelions playing in the morning sun. A fun end to this morning’s ride. And now back to the art fair… stop by the Schaumburg Prairie Arts Festival today from 10am-5pm. It looks like it’s going to be another beautiful day!!!

After a long weekend in Minnesota, I was kinda ready to be headed home. Sure the Pottery Tour was great… and my time with my cousins & kids was too much fun!!! But seriously, all good things must come to an end… and my wallet is pretty empty too. Luckily, the weather was great for my drive home. At least until I got back into Illinois when the clouds started to take over… as the big storm was heading in.

More clouds… with a nice sunrise squeaking in just under the wire.
Gotta love taking pictures out of a moving car while driving. Sure, not too safe, but…

It was surprisingly warm today in Chicago… when I left work and got in my car to start my drive, the car’s thermometer said it was 93-degrees!!!

With the storms brewing throughout Wisconsin, the clouds rolled in threatening a storm in my path. Luckily, the storm passed by me as though I was at the tail-end of the storm. A few drizzles… and a temperature drop of over 30-degrees!!!
