Weekend Reflections

I found this marker for a time capsule in the courtyard behind the FSU Alumni Association house. If you look closely, you will see reflections of the sky, trees and the roof of the building in the seal. To see more wonderful reflections from all over the world, don't miss Weekend Reflections.

President's Home

This house is located right next door to the house I showed yesterday and is the home of the current FSU President. This was as close as I could get to the house since it is a private residence.

Pearl Tyner House

The Pearl Tyner House is located across the street from the Florida State University campus and originally served as the home of the University's president. It is now part of the FSU Alumni Association complex and serves as a welcome center. Pearl Tyner was a graduate of FSU back when it was known as Florida State College for Women and was a generous benefactor of the University.

Chicken & Waffles

I saw this food truck parked downtown. I've never tried the chicken & waffles, but I like chicken and I like waffles, so I'll bet it's pretty good. I notice they also have sweet potato fries and I know I like those!

Men in Trees

You can only see his legs, but there is a guy up there working on trimming that huge live oak tree near downtown Tallahassee. It was a little windy the day I took this picture, so he was having to wrestle with the Spanish moss while he was trying to work.

Camera Critters

I caught a seagull admiring this view of the Chicago skyline when I took his picture in front of the Adler Planetarium. I was just trying to stay warm! For some reason every time I have visited the windy city, it has been in the wintertime. One day I'm going to go back when the weather is warm enough not to have to bundle up in layers of clothes just to go outside. This concludes pictures of my trip. Tomorrow my blog will be back to pictures of Tallahassee. To see more cute critters from around the world, visit Camera Critters.

Harry Caray's

The first night we were in Chicago, my daughter and I ate at Harry Caray's and both the food and service were fantastic. Here are a couple of shots I took inside the restaurant when we were leaving. The cow in the second shot is a tribute to Harry Caray's famous exclamation "Holy Cow!" which, according to his autobiography, he trained himself to use in order to avoid any chance of using profanity on the air while broadcasting baseball games.
