Just Because I Miss My Granddaughter

At the Chicago Botanic Garden on the tram ride...

And my grandson.....

Tomorrow I drive to Atlanta (6 hours away) for Thanksgiving and I'm so eager to see them!

Pompano Joe's

Finally made it back to Pompano Joe's (prior post) for dinner.  Love the "N'Awlin's" style screenless windows that open up to the ceiling....just like in the French Quarter.....(click to enlarge)

Sitting at my table before ordering...

I imagine these tables are filled during high season....

Sunset begins....

And intensifies....

The walk to the car after dinner....

If it looks like a duck and quacks like a duck.....

But man, I've never seen a duck like this!  Isn't she different?  And friendly!  I parked the car to get some photos about 30' from where she was drinking at a pond's edge, she immediately waddled over to my door!  Must be a lot of "feed-the-duck"ers she's used to.  (Sorry about the focus on the first shots....)
