the university of chicago.

Lush and green, I thought I could squeeze the water out of the ivy growing along the walls and from the leaves growing on their bushel-like trees.

The English Gothic style of the campus architecture added to the fairytale atmosphere (fairytale for me, perhaps dungeon-esque for the actual students) as I climbed rusted ladders and stairwells, walked under stone arches, peeked into professors' offices, and sat in comfortable silence on old, wooden benches.

Everything is a fairytale in the summer. When winter comes, Chicago will be covered in a blanket of whiteness.

on hiatus for the time being, while I try to figure out how to save my failed hard drive and all the photos that were stored in it... thanks for the patience. on the bright side, this means a deluge of photos to come since I have so many photos backlogged and ready to edit!

Cat Hotel.

My two cats at home in the backyard. They get the good life, washed and pampered with every swish of the tail. I'm often told to 'stop bothering the cats.' Shouldn't it be the other way around??
