All the photos of my cats are on my phone. I need to start printing some, someday, may see them.

Estes and Paulina Just snapped in half. The tree that was just west came down last year and there isn’t much left on the block now
Two kinds of oenothera in my yard! Love these soft delicate flowers. #gardening #natives
Tiny study for a larger work. Tiny little soft pastel study of roses in the yard. #art

This is who @chicagotribune.com says are leading candidates for mayor. ☹️ Lots of old time chicago politicos. Lots of BIG money behind Giannoulias whos claim to fame is playing b-ball with Obama. No one I’d really get out the vote for. No one close to Mandami.
On the easel- working in soft pastels on getting the clouds to have form. #art #chicagolakefront
