the beginning and end

Began the day in Baraboo, Wisconsin taking a cold morning hike along Devil’s Lake. Ended the day back home. It was a good day.

logan square sightings

Three of our four children live in the city of Chicago, so, we are often in this beautiful city. Just a few shots from the Logan Square neighborhood while visiting my oldest son and his family.

brother and sister

Yup… grandkids rock.

black and white ice

Enjoyed a beautiful morning after an overnight ice storm. Thanks for stopping by!

peace

Remembering that the days are coming when the ice will pass away, and the still, heaviness of summer air will press down on the river, and a fisherman will remain… surrounded by peace…

merry christmas…

…and Happy Holidays to my WordPress family! Thank you for your inspiration and encouragement!

the last one

This is the last image in a series of black and whites from our Thanksgiving road trip to New York. December is a busy season for me with our annual Christmas production and Christmas Eve preparations, so, hopefully, this will not be the last post of 2018.

seagull or nazgul

The bird in the image above was very content to let me take my time as I snapped picture after picture. The bird seemed to enjoy being photographed as I moved in closer, or, got low to the ground, never appearing frightened or jittery. That all changed when his buddy showed up in the image below. I didn’t know seagulls could sound like Nazgul, but that’s what he sounded like. There was no way that his friend was going to ruin a future in modeling!
