  A heart-shaped tree stump sits alone at the Riemer Reservoir in Palatine. Some may be heart broken that nature was cleared for no apparent reason. But consider that the tree may have been diseased, and taking it may have saved others in the area. Sometimes sacrifices are made to avoid a bigger heart break.

  Never ceases to amaze me what you might see coming around that next corner. That is what I discovered over the weekend after I finished shooting a graduation at the Rosemont Theatre. Also in progress at the same time was an Anime Central convention at the Donald E. Stephens Convention Center. People in all types of costumes were walking around and this one especially caught my attention. Obviously he spotted me taking his picture and turned toward me but one will have to keep on wondering if he was smiling or not. Anime is a Japanese term for animation from all over the world.
