Lens-Artists Photo Challenge – Found in The Neighborhood

This week, Ann-Christine would like us to share what we have Found in the Neighborhood for the Len’s-Artists Photo Challenge. I make no apologies for dipping into the photo files for this one. We have been asked to stay at home as much as possible for the next 30 days because of the virus and, in trying to comply, I am not about to venture out for anything less than toilet paper and Marmite. These pictures may not be recent but I don’t think I’ve published them here before.

Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge- Dark Red

With limited travel and photo opportunities, it’s been quite a challenge to come up with recent pictures rather than dipping too far back into the photo archives, but here are a few shots, taken in the past few weeks, that I thought would fit in with Cee’s theme of Dark Red for her Fun Foto Challenge.

The last of the roses at the Chicago Botanic Garden.

The barn at Volkening Heritage Farm in Schaumburg.

Two places of interest in the historic shopping district of Long Grove.

And lastly, a leftover guest from our Family Fall Festival.

Pull Up A Seat – In Long Grove

As I had promised, I returned to Long Grove this week to make further purchases at Paddy’s On The Square and, while I was there, checked out a few places that seemed like pleasant spots to Pull Up A Seat and take a break.
