This week’s travel theme at Where’s My Backpack? is multiples. When I first decided to link up with Ailsa, I was at a loss as to what to actually feature among my photos. But, as with any conceptual theme (and a lust for travel), inspiration will take you beyond where you thought you could go.
Here’s a few local shots for your traveling enjoyment. After all, Chicago is a travel destination for some people — just not me. 🙂
Let’s start with multiple tree branches taken on New Year’s Day at Dawes Park in Evanston, Illinois. Dawes Park is just south of Northwestern University along Lake Michigan and is a local treasure. I loved the way the afternoon sun hit the branches of the trees and the amazing blue of the sky on a very cold day.
Following along the path in Dawes Park, we discovered the rocks piled up to form a breakwater. The sun on the snow with the contrast of the rock was breathtaking.
On a lighter note, my travels took me to my nail salon yesterday, and I couldn’t resist taking this photo of another kind of multiples. I gave the photo a little “boost” of color, and there you have it. A smile for your day…
Happy weekend and happy photography!
Be sure to stop by Ailsa’s blog at Where’s My Backpack? and check out some photographs by other posters!
Love the third picture. I’ve been tempted to do the same, they are so colorful!
The bright colors are beautiful and oh so tempting. I’ve been doing shiny neutrals on my fingers recently and have found them to be more practical, but my toes are clamoring for some hot pink right now. 🙂
Love your header – and that polish! Thanks for visiting.
