I exited the back of the Museum of Science and Industry, looked up, and saw this.

This is the La Salle Street Station in Chicago. I am still thrilled to hop on these cool trains and head downtown from the suburbs.

Back to one of my favorite parks: William G. Stratton State Park, Morris, Illinois. It is usually peaceful here and it is a nice place to see the seasons change. Looking forward to the beauty and color of the Fall season at this park!

I can’t look at an abandoned building without thinking about people. A team of masons helped construct this building. Electricians and carpenters also had a hand in construction. Men and women with families built this and, later, worked here. Still looking for a way inside… stay tuned…

Another shot from my recent motorcycle excursion. It is a rainy day here today, but tomorrow the sun will be shining down on me and my Harley, so, we will be exploring, and yes, I will take the camera. Have a wonderful week!

We are back from our conference in Florida. While in Florida we had the opportunity to see family that we don’t often get to see, since someone long ago decided to place Florida and Illinois so far apart from each other! This is my niece, Cami, enjoying the ocean. We spent an afternoon on the beach with her and other treasured family members. Taken at Ormond by the Sea.

This was seen in Logan’s Square, Chicago. This will be my last post for the next week or so. I am out of town with my bride to a worship conference. Have a great week everyone!!

The towboat actually pushes the river barge. Shouldn’t they call it a push boat?

The first to two images of the barn where my daughter had her wedding earlier in August. It was a lot of work to decorate this space, but also lots of fun! The bride was beautiful, the father cried, and a good time was had by all.
