Jake was out of town at a work commitment for the entire week of my birthday this year. So I made a bunch of plans, including spending my actual birthday in Chicago with my immediate family. Since I got a DSLR, most of my Chicago trips haven't allowed for a lot of random wandering and picture taking. It was great to spend a few hours out in the city with family, camera in hand, on my birthday.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who made my birthday and my entire solo week so great. I am blessed to live near a lot of family and to have so many good friends in Milwaukee.
I absolutely love that last photo!
ReplyDeleteI can never remember the name of where that done is located (at least, I assume the photo towards the middle is the dome I'm thinking of?), but my sister always stays very near there whenever she visits Chicago. Her boyfriend has family there and they love going to visit.
So glad you had a good birthday! I know how difficult it can be to celebrate when you can't be with the person you'd really like to see.
Happy birthday! Those are amazing photos!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteThat last photo is fabulous! Glad you enjoyed your birthday with family!
ReplyDeleteYou got some AMAZING shots! Sorry you could not be with Jake for your birthday, but glad you were able to spend time with family in Chicago.
ReplyDeleteThese are such beautiful shots! I've never been to Chicago so seeing it through your lens is a real treat. Happy birthday to you!
ReplyDeleteWonderful shots! I'm a bit late with my happy birthday wishes but am glad you had a good time with family :)
ReplyDeleteSo glad you got to spend your birthday with family. Great photos of the city. I can't wait til we head to Chicago in September! Your photos get me excited thinking about all the great things to do there!
