@dmercer.bsky.social I'm visiting NE Minneapolis and thought you'd like a glimpse of this turreted house at NE 18th Ave and Lincoln St NE. Stopped me in my tracks.

NGL, after Aquatennial this summer, I risked missing a bus home to get this photo. Every time I see the building, I see more photos waiting to happen.

I was lucky to get a nice one here in Chicago a few days ago. It lasted a good long while, too.

I consider today’s #caturday photo to be a still life, because neither she nor the grasshopper moved for 15 minutes.

Starting in March ’02 (I retired at the end of ’24), I worked in the 430 N. Michigan Ave. building that Bob Hartley ostensibly had his office in. Our last two CEOs decided to make very odd additions that were arguably monuments to themselves. Here’s how it looks now (photo taken in February).

Inspirational fish asks, “Am I being Raptured?”
“I can FEEL it! Take me NOW, lawd, TAKE me NOW!”

Timeline cleanse! An impossibly cute #squirrel noshes on a flake of bread that, sticking out of its mouth, looks just a bit like a tongue.

Yesterday a friend and I decided to visit a nearby suburb. I sneakily had the Lyft drop us off at a bookstore where I knew there was a kitten adoption event happening. My friend didn't adopt but, in the wake of that much cuteness, bought a toy stuffed chicken with googly eyes and a tiny carrot beak.
