You don’t know how happy I am to see the Out Of Chicago community growing. Not only that, but everyone that is participating is so friendly and willing to share. I love you guys! OK, enough of that. Sorry.

Yesterday I announced our first Out Of Chicago workshop and it is pretty much filled. If you want to join us, let me know ASAP.

Another thing that I am excited about is people stepping up to help organize some events. Cliffie Scott-Williams came to me and asked if he could organize an Out Of Chicago road trip to the lighthouses of West Michigan. Of course! What a great idea. If you’re interested in joining Cliffie (and maybe me) on this trip, you need to sign up at the event page at our Out Of Chicago Google+ Community.

Today’s image is from a couple of years ago at Little Sable Light House. I imagine the weather won’t be near as nice in March.
