Following the Blitz bombing of Liverpool during the second world war, rubble from bomb-damaged areas was transported to the beach at Crosby to bolster the sea defences. It still remains to this day and there are lots of interesting pieces of brick and stonework to be found.

So, I was at Navy Pier today and look what I found! Pay phones! I didn't think they existed anymore. Seems like everyone has a cell phone. Shoot - even my husband's grandfather has a cell phone. Naturally, when I saw these, after I got done chuckling to myself, I had to take a photo. WELL. These two ladies saw me and this is what I overheard: "A phone. Look Mary. She's taking a picture of the phone." Both of them turn around, craning their necks to see what in the name of blases (which is the phrase I imagine them using and thinking is absolute profanity) I am doing. I thought about explaining to them but if they NEEDED an explanation, then they would not APPRECIATE the explanation. So there you have it.
I went on the World Wide Photo Walk on Saturday in Lewes Delaware . It was started 3 years ago by Photoshop guru Scott Kelby. There was over 30,000 photographers who took part all over the world . Our group of 50 was led by Judy G. Rolfe, a former USA Today photo editor,and freelance photographer. I met some really niice people and had a wonderful time.
On the site of where Pres. James Madison was born, at the border of Caroline and King George Counties. It's a small yet very striking brick church.
I saw birds fly in and out of tiny holes in the hollow bricks, when I got close I could hear then chattering away inside.
