A New Perspective

I accompanied my youngest daughter to her apartment in the city this morning.  While she was busy with organizing, I was enjoying the view from her 17th story window.  I truly had a bird's eye view.
Buckingham Fountain is spectacular, and Navy Pier is in the background.  I processed the picture to look a little vintage, using a technique I learned in Kim Klassen's Beyond Layers class.
 This couple seemed to be trying to decide if it was safe to venture forth . . .

It was a lovely day to spy on people from my overhead perch!  I'll have to come visit her more often!

Making Basil Lemonade! 



Lots of work, but oh, so refreshing!
