Headband stealer
I love that a little person in my house keeps stealing the headbands I stash in the bathroom to hold my hair back when I wash my face.

Fall begins
Other than the unseasonably cool weather, I got my first sign of fall today. I guess you could say this is my first visual queue to the change of the seasons.

Dew drops and spider webs
Many times when I pull into work in the morning, I see dew-covered spiderwebs in the landscaped foliage in one of the parking lot berms. It’s always so beautiful, these little gleaming gems sparkling in the morning sun. I have shot these damn things every which way from Sunday, trying to capture what I see. Turns out that dew drops on spiderwebs are tricky little bastards. This is about the closest I’ve come, and I’m still not happy with it.

Blue lolly for the blue-eyed girl
The child has been earning rewards of M&Ms, jelly beans, or lollipops when successfully using the potty. I purchased a 370-count bag of DumDums from Sam’s last night, so you can imagine how it’s going. This afternoon, while hanging out in the library and watching her go to town on her lolly, I noticed the pale skin, dark hair, and blue eyes/blue lolly. “Hold on, Zo, Mommy needs to get her camera!”

Found 2
This little scene was 20 feet from Mr. Orange down there. I never think of painting my window frames bright, cheery colors. But I should, because I like it.

Found
I had a business meeting at a new hotel in the loop. Debated lugging the camera down there. Glad I did. Got two decent shots…this is the first. I just like how his orange shirt pops out of all the neutral colors.

The poop cometh
And Mommy said, “Let there be poop!” and there was poop, and it was good, for it was in the potty – the second day.

I.P. Freely
Isn’t there some old joke about a man named I.P. Freely? I know there is one…I just can’t remember it.

Spencer’s
My Papa taught me a fine appreciation for little diners such as this. It’s Spencer’s Grill, right in downtown Kirkwood. Been there for about 104 years, I think. These places make the best food. Breakfast all day long. Awesome diner chili. Yum. I made this image while waiting for my friend Ryan yesterday. I was in the fifth of five booths (it’s a tiny place), and after I got settled and looked around, it just all seemed so timeless. Right down to the newspapers haphazardly stacked on the first stool. No matter what happens in the world, you can always go into Spencer’s and have a good cup of joe outside the swirl of everyday life.
