This is a blog of my photography. The PotD will be updated daily. I shoot around the Chicago area, in the city and out in the state parks in the northern part of the state, and all around the suburbs. You can click to enlarge any photograph, and requests for prints and wallpapers are welcome. My photos are stored over on Flickr too.

The cicadas have arrived at my front door. Literally!
Oh, my, the 17-year cicadas are arriving! I thought I would have to go out to Morton Arboretum or one of my favorite state parks to get some good shots of them, but it turns out the little tree in front of my condo has been hiding them in its roots for years. My doormat is already littered with wings and eco-skeletons and molting cicadas! The tree and the bush in front of my neighbor's door is coated with them. I managed to get some good shots of the eco-skeletons (like this one), but I'm still shooting for a good image of a live cicada.
Now I feel all itchy.
