A belated Happy New Year! I've been busy working on all the commission orders I received over the holidays - which is great, because it hasn't been the ideal weather for getting out and about. But when I can get out, I do, and then I take lots of photos. Sharing some favorites from the last few weeks...including spruced up ones, compliments of instagram...another fabulous new diversion, for me! You can follow me at: http://instagram.com/anneleuck

New Years Eve Day. I got my car stuck for a short while...thank goodness for all wheel drive!

The "silly beast" outside my kitchen window. Construction has since insued. Hoping I won't be left in the dark come spring!

I gifted myself some snow shoes, took the inaugural outing last week with my friend Laura.

Laura opted to use her cross country skis. it was great fun!

The ice formations formed from the "Polar Vortex" were phenomenal and breath taking!

This is where I spent most of my summer! No paddle boarding or kayaking today...

The sand and snow wind formations at the beach were delightful to see.

We finished the day with a few tobaggon runs down Cricket Hill. I had not done that since high school….wheee!

Sunset walk last Sunday in my neighborhood.

Tandem Trip #2 of 2010

Picture 46 On Sunday we took our 2nd tandem ride of 2010, almost 30 miles round trip, from our house to the Museum of Science & Industry and back (so I could check out the storm exhibit...I am intrigued by weather!) It was a great ride south, I never get tired of looking at the glorious blue green color of Lake Michigan...this is all a little easier now thanks to the 3 speed hub Rich outfitted our 1970's vintage Schwinn Twinn Tandem with for our inaugural ride on Easter Sunday. We did 25 miles from under the I-90 bridge at the Fox River through Elgin down to St. Charles and back...the wind blew us all the way back which of course we planned (and I needed, as I was still recovering from my freaky cold).
