Took 19 pictures.

My garage is getting done. I went down to Cara's friend Rebecca's house that night for a little get-together. While i was there i managed to drench the drinks table when i opened a 2-liter bottle of either Mr. Pibb or Dr. Pepper and it just exploded with foam and soda everywhere.

That afternoon i drove down to Cicero to order a garage door, went out for the first day of ultimate summer league, and stopped at a supermarket on the way home and took pictures of the rain.

Lots of nice rainy shots today. Rain just makes all the lights look so much cooler. That's why they hose down the streets when they shoot movies.

Passing train from the Oak Park Metra station. I bought Los Lobos' latest album "Good Morning Aztlan" today. Good stuff.

I walked a loooong way on the 6th. A few blocks west of Harlem, then all the way down by the high school, then up through Mills Park. I always thought i should try to sell this picture to the Village of Oak Park.

Took 39 pictures.

On the 7th i went with Paul, Nate, and Colin to the Oak Park Little League day at Comisky Park. I took a lot of pictures there, trying to capture the lighting around the park, but since they were all hand-held, they didn't come out so great. Although they do have their charms.

Lake Michigan.

I've often wondered what kind of pictures i could have taken if i didn't have a full time job. So many of these pictures are taken so close to the office (this one was right under the back stairs). It gets to be sort of a challenge.

Took 16 pictures.

I loaded up the truck and headed down to Versailles Ohio for the annual Poultry Days ultimate tournament. Stopped for gas at Bolton's Motor Inn in Mendon, OH.

I played that year with a team from Chicago put together by Gary, a guy on the Chicago Machine team, who at that point i was still practicing with. I always think that by going somewhere new i'll be able to find all kinds of cool new pictures to take, but i've found that that's just not the case. But that night i roamed all over the Poultry Days fair after a good rain and the lighting was great.

The next morning, after sleeping in my truck with my dogs, i played a couple more games, took some more pictures, then hit the back roads home. Stopped for gas at the Speedway in Valparaiso, IN.

someone brought a dog to summer league that night that pretty much matched my set. Can you tell which is the other dog?

When i got home from work today i discovered a bird inside on my back porch.

Austin & Madison (i think) on my way home from summer league.

I left work early that day and went to see Attack of the Clones for the second time. Then i went to Home Depot and took some shots of the tracks that run by there.

Took 17 pictures.

I went out at lunch and was taken by the look and colors of the grass and brick and stucco alongside of a building across the street from the office. But i have a feeling that those pictures would look good in black and white too.

Looking west from the Roosevelt L station on my way down to Washington Park to play ultimate. Sometimes instead of getting off the blue line at Jackson and onto the green line at Adams/Wabash, i'd get off at La Salle and unicycle the 8 blocks or so over to the Roosevelt station to catch the green line. But there also may have been construction on the tracks going on...

Boats in a marina after ultimate.

This was one of those days where i didn't take many pictures during the day, so i wandered all over my neighborhood in Berwyn that night, taking long-exposure shots of gas stations and cars going by, plus this one.

I went home early to work on the roof of my garage. It was very hot and slow-going. The dogs didn't seem to mind the heat though.
