Two for the price of one

OK we haven't had a person, or people for a while so here's two for the price of one:


The Brother and Kim, by Lake Michigan, 2018

'Tis the Brother and his better half.  I know it's dark but it's pretty true to the conditions- the shot was taken as the light was fading rapidly, late one evening by Lake Michigan last August.  He's Skyping on his phone at the time to one of their offspring, as you do these days.

I just love Kim's expression as she looks on.  And her hands are just itchin' to get that phone back.

I'll let you into a secret - we were breaking the law that afternoon! Of course if anyone from Chicago Lakeshore Police is reading this I'll deny everything and say I was just writing it to appear hip and cool and dangerous like.  The act involved a degree of planning prior to leaving the house - namely decanting a certain clearish liquid from a bottle into an innocuous-looking soft drink container and consuming said liquid in the vicinity of the Lake.  You're not allowed to do that and if you're caught, they make you pour it out!  How horrible would that be!  Luckily we weren't caught - although it was pretty close at one point.  But most of the evidence had been consumed by that stage anyway so it wouldn't have been a complete disaster.  Oh yes, we like living close to the edge, we do...  Truth be told that's about as close to the edge as I've ever lived in my whole 55 years on this planet.  Sad, isn't it?
