2024: Mailing the First Postcards. Taken on Montrose at Damen in Chicago.

Well, actually we did not mail any postcards today. The date for first mailing is October 17th (with other mailings to follow on the 24th and 28th). But today was the day when we could all get together for our "postcard photo shoot". We also wanted to have the photos and videos ready so we could post them on social media tomorrow. So we started out at our house where the more than 30,000 postcards and many boxes were located. We carried them all to the porch and nine of us met took photos with all of the boxes. Then four of us took a few of the boxes to the post office. We set up this, but before I took the photo we were going to use, I took this photo with everyone watching something more interesting down the street.

2020: Wear your mask. Taken on Hamlin between Argyle and Carmen in Chicago.
2018: Milkweed. Taken along Kelderhouse Rd just off of Port Oneida Road in Sleeping Bear Dunes Lakeshore in Leelanau County, Michigan. Milkweed is one of the plants that I think of at Sleeping Bear Dunes. There were gale force winds but bright sun, and the milkweeds did the rest.
2016: The train is coming. Taken at the Belmont EL Stop in Chicago.
2012: At the drycleaners. Taken on Foster and near Balmoral.
