Walking (carefully)

Today I took my weenie for a walk.  We walked one mile, and I had to carry him part of the way because his tongue was falling out of his mouth.  Anyway, I took my BlackBerry with me just in case I took another fall like last year, but the walk was so pretty that I took pics along the way.  I forgot my options were set to Black & White, but I love the results even if it's a camera phone.

The Millennium Building

Still on my journey to nowhere yesterday, I finally stopped and shot this glass and granite monster located in Addison, TX.  I have always loved the architectural angle where if you look at it straight on, you really can't tell that the circle on the top doesn't go all the way around.  Whizzing by on the tollway, it demands your attention - or from most any block within 20 you can see the top.  I've seen this building in all kinds of weather and it's always beautiful.





DALLAS, Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- At ceremonies today, Clyde C. Jackson, Jr., president of Dallas-based Wynne/Jackson, Inc., and Jim Lozier, president of Archon Group, L.P., broke ground on MILLENNIUM, a one million-square-foot, master-planned office and hotel development located on an eight-acre site at the northwest corner of Dallas Parkway and Arapaho Road. Phase I of the project includes a 14-story, 375,000-square-foot granite and glass, Class A+ office tower with a seven-level, 1,350-space, adjoining parking garage. Completion for Phase I is scheduled for November 1999.

A Diversion

I went on an excursion to help me get my mind off something today, and I clicked a few pics.  Here's one of them from a park very near my place.  The weather was very dreary and it was raining on me most of the time, but today I didn't seem to mind too much because dreary weather is often times beautiful.  Besides that, I gave up on having a good hair day about a month ago when the rain set in.

I really like the colors in this photo most of all.  They're so dreadfully gloomy.
