Deerfield - Jewett Park

"Today is Memorial Day. I am out to play at Jewett Park."


"Wait, someone is photographing me. Let me pose for him."


"All that posing, I am so tired and sleepy. That guy with the Nikon D70s, how many more shots is he taking?"


"Let me do a lazy stretch."


"Bye, I am going to take a nap."


"Zzzzzzzzz....."

Gurnee - Gurnee Mills

It is another shopping trip! This time to Gurnee Mills! Gurnee Mills is a super big mall and we spent more than 8 hours here!


Know this shop called Bath & Body Works? The things they sell simply smell too nice to resist! I bought a dozen of bath gels, soaps, splashes from this shop.


It is time to shop, so no more pictures.

When it is no longer so cold anymore and the sun has came out, a lot of yachts can be seen in Lake Michigan.


Even the policeman has came out to patrol the coast of Lake Michigan.

Chicago - Navy Pier

I have been busy with work for the past 3 weeks and cannot afford the time to visit town. The weather is good today so I went to Navy Pier again with some colleagues.

Deerfield - Spring Flowers - 04 May 08

I think it is Spring. The sun is out and it is not as cold anymore. I see tulips everywhere. They are beautiful!

Deerfield - Sunset - 03 May 08

It was a rainy day and I had to stay indoors. The rain stopped in the evening. I always wanted to practice how to shoot sunsets so I went nearby where I can catch the sun setting.

The sun beginning to set.


The sun sets.
