Random thoughts and observations, including photographs, in the tradition of a flaneur*: a stroller, a loiterer, a dawdler on street corners, a hanger-about who rambles through a city without any apparent purpose but is highly attuned to the history of the place and is in a constant covert search of adventure, esthetic or the exotic and erotic. Please Note: all text and PHOTOS are protected by copywrite! Do not use in any form without permission. Thank you. * Baudelaire created the term.

Warm February walks along the lake
Yesterday, and the day before were quite warm for the end of a February -- in the high 40's and 50's!
I took two long walks along the lake from Berwyn to Inspiration Point pier and then down to dog beach at Lawrence. Today was very windy, 20 to 25mph direct from the west. A flag was straight out. A number of brave women were only in jog bras and shorts as they ran the path along the lake!
Here are some rock carvings I walked over during my ramble. If you click on any image, you are taken to a slide presentation of larger images.
The walk was a good physical and visual experience.
