Mule Deer

Cabella's outdoor store in Kansas City has a huge display on the life and habits of Mule Deer. We see them all the time on the Colorado property and it was nice to learn more about heir habits. 

Robie House

We made reservations to tour the Frank Lloyd Wright Robie house in Chicago. This is one of the better known Frank Lloyd Wright designs and has been our our 'bucket list' of Wright buildings to see and explore.

This is a popular attraction in Chicago and advance reservations are suggested.

The horizontal lines of the home are emphasized and the views into the house are controlled to give the owners privacy 

Most Wright houses have the entrances hidden from the casual observer. This one is no different

The horizontal mortar lines are a lighter color and the verticals are brick colored. This is  to emphasize the horizontal element

Our docent did a nice job explaining the house while staying on a tight tour schedule

This is the pathway to the entry door

We gathered around the front door

Inside the entryway and under the only curved line in the home
