Taken on Lake Michigan from the beach at New Buffalo, MI. I think I remember shouting from the shore, “HAVE YOU SEEN THE WHITE WHALE?” 🙂

I married Ruth, my high school sweetheart, in 1983 and we have four children and 6 grandchildren. I have been the worship pastor at Mission Bible Church since 2004. We are located in Minooka, a southwest suburb of Chicago. I love singing, bicycling, music, Mahler, boxing, coffee, movies, The Beatles, sunsets, coffee, Mahler, the seashore, sunsets at the seashore, coffee, and… the seashore. Originally from New York, I grew up 15 minutes from the beautiful beaches of southern Long Island. I have a Fujifilm X-T5 that I use to capture the world I see. I also enjoy writing about the images that surface in my mind and heart as I work with the images from my camera. Thanks for stopping by!
stillness and light
a determined tree
To me, this tree looks like it could just pick up those roots – a.k.a., tentacles; a.k.a., legs – and just go exploring.
stone manor
Not quite Downton Abbey, but not to shabby either! Stone Manor is the largest, and probably most famous estate on Lake Geneva. The home that we stayed at last week was next to this estate. I think I might buy it…..or…..just look at this picture…. 🙂
lake and light
Lake Geneva, in Wisconsin, is a beautiful, spring fed lake that is about 7.5 miles long. The lake is 5,262 acres in size. There is a path around this crystal lake that is about 21 miles long, and, there are some very large homes along the lake shore as well. This was taken on one of our walks along the lake shore.
summer
We have returned from a wonderful week of spiritual retreat, rest, and, renewal. Hope you all had a great week. Looking forward to reconnecting with my WordPress family 🙂
the long and windy road
Taken last summer in hopes that we will eventually have a summer! I will be off the grid this week. Going on a spiritual retreat with my wife. Have a wonderful week!
river sky
river sky is it too much to ask that you stay awhile
winter has been so dark and lonely and i miss seeing your clouds
as they dance along the river carrying the day away to a distant sea
river sky just stay awhile and if you must leave
then take me with you to the sea… please take me with you to the sea

This is what I find when I bike 25 miles west from home. It is a favorite destination. If you want to know more about it you can read the back story here.

I took my first ride to this location last week, but the weather has not been friendly since. I would love to get inside this building and take some pictures!
