While we were having breakfast outside of the White Rabbit Inn in Lakeside Michigan, this little guy was joining us.

Found this praying mantis outside of an antiques store in Union Pier Michigan. Luckily I had my macro lens nearby in the car.

A 7-photo stitch of the chicago skyline, color edited and saturated. I've been meaning to shoot some large-scale panoramics like this, with the intent of having prints made on canvas and stretchers. A few more and I'll attempt a print run. I'm really looking forward to having a 3ft x 8ft version of something like this - There's so much detail, it mostly gets lost when I try to show it online.

I took quite a few shots of fireworks out in Lombard on the 4th, and just found this amongst them.

The subway in chicago, between stops. I'm fairly sure this is just south of lake. 4 photos stitched together using autopano pro, almost a full 180° straight up to straight down. This would be an impossibly wide angle.

I've seen pictures of this building for years, but never had a chance to go and see it. We happened to be driving south along the lake, and stopped by a few days ago.
The grounds and building are beautiful, its well worth a visit.
3 exposures combined.
