Sure, it needs a few things….like a steering wheel, but, the stereo sounds great! What’s your best offer?

Parish of Laborie, St. Lucia

Parish of Laborie, St. Lucia

On my recent trip to St. Lucia I was fortunate to see this beautiful church in the town of Laborie. While waiting for our student team to arrive for a school visit,  I went over and took some photos of the Parish of St. Lucia. I was in a rush, so they did not turn out as I had hoped, but I felt this one captured the simple beauty of this old church.

One of my favorite ways to get exercise, enjoy a good view, and take photos is by riding around on my TREK. This is a beautiful old bridge, in Morris, IL, that crosses the I&M Canal, a brilliant feat of engineering. You can read about the I&M Canal here.

This was taken on my recent trip to Saint Lucia with our church’s youth group. This is four out of the 28 students on the trip. We took some time to visit a lighthouse in Vieux Fort, Saint Lucia called: Cap Moule a Chique Light. This is one of highest lights above sea level in the world and is located on the southernmost tip of Saint Lucia.  My youngest son is in the foreground.

I love antique shops, and this one was just as much fun on the outside as it was on the inside! Taken in Naperville, IL.

summer barn

I call it the 5 Mile Barn, because it is near 5 Mile Bridge, west of Morris, IL. I have taken lots of images of it (too many perhaps), but since I pass it on my morning rides, I can’t help but feel that it just is calling to be photographed. I was thinking of going down to it, but the summer rains have really caused the weeds and grass to grow. Plus, there was a rather good sized snake skin right near where this was taken that made me wonder who was waiting for me down there!

Hello WordPress family! Missed you guys  🙂  Finally home after a two week trip to St. Lucia with our church’s student team. We had a BLAST, and, I am so proud of the work of our students. This was taken this week during one of my early morning rides. I may post one or two St. Lucia pics. Have a great weekend!
