Have I mentioned how much I love weather and water? (...spent much of the last 2 summers paddle boarding on Lake Michigan). So Late afternoon, on Halloween, when WBEZ reported a 21 foot wave clocked south of Chicago...I got myself to the lake, stat! No 21 footers on the northside, but I was not disappointed! It was so powerful and beautiful, these were a few of the salvageable shots...it was hard to get good ones because it was impossible to stand still in the wind.

The next day...November 1st: I was invited to a Día de Muertos Potluck, makeup optional. I watched some makeup videos on youtube and I was hooked. Equipped with makeup from the Halloween store and paint brushes from my studio, I went to work...I love how it turned out! It was so much fun, as was the party and seeing everyone in costume (only about 20% of us). I used to be the boring girl who wouldn't dress up, I think that girl is gone, now!
