View from the church

Every time we turn into the church parking lot you get hit suddenly with this gorgeous view. It's amazing! The pictures I took don't do it justice. Every time I look at it I can hear a choir of angels singing in my head. 

 I love these little plant.....things. They look like little fruits that you can eat, but they're not. Not that I tried or anything....

 It took a lot of maneuvering to get the light in this shot right. Doesn't the tree look creepy?

This is near the church so yes I am still on topic. I just love the vines all tangled and branched out everywhere. It makes something you see everyday much more interesting!

Lots of Love!

More Chicago

Sorry about the recent lack of updating, I won't even try to make a good excuse up. Here's the second part of our Chicago trip. These are primarily from the Art Institute of Chicago. This was one of my favorite parts! (except for the modern art part of the museum where there was this big picture of someone licking someone's eyeball, I really tried to appreciate but I failed.)

The lions outside the museum.

 Yes, this is the real painting! All of these are! It was so cool to be able to be there and actually see the strokes and the colors. I used my camera to focus on a lot of them to see the details of what the artist did.

The best painting ever! This one made the trip worth while.

You can see the dots! It's so cool! 

 What the freak?! Who's that?!

 Me being reeeaaaal classy!

 A close up of one of my favorites!

 I love the colors of the two above. They're so pretty!

 This is a little out of place, but the building in front is really old and the building in the back is really new. Thought is was pretty cool.

 Someone asked why the artist would make a portrait of such an odd looking person. I almost took away their ticket and told them to go back to your elementary art class.
