This is the final image from a hike that I took earlier this Fall. You can see this bridge at the end of the tracks in this post. It’s a relatively short hike and a fun spot to explore. Just can’t figure out – yet – how to get to the top of that bridge. Shhhhh….. 🙂
Dear WordPress family: may you have a blessed Christmas, filled with the love of family and friends. Thank you for being a part of my journey! God bless.
This is the second of a set of three images taken on a hike that I took this past Fall. Sorry for the long pause between posts. We just finished up our Christmas production at church. Each year I write the script and coordinate musicians and other artists. On a sad note, I lost a dear friend who passed away suddenly. I also sang at a service for a young mom who passed away in our community. So, there has been lots of sadness, amidst the joy and celebration of Christmas…
Taken when the earth was a bit warmer in late fall. Feel free to suggest a title if you like…
Took a road trip this past week from Illinois to Florida for a family reunion on my wife’s side of the family. We had a wonderful time with family, got to do Disney and, enjoyed an incredible Thanksgiving meal with all 37 of us! This all has noting to do with this image, except to say that I did not take many photos on our trip. I am going through my library deleting and organizing and ran across this one. It is one of my favorite places to visit. (WordPress is scrunching everything today, so sorry about the lack of white space.)
My impression of what I saw on a crisp, bright, beautiful, Autumn day.
I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I’ve got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I’m in love and it’s a sunny day — The Beatles
Still haven’t found a way in… but I am working on it… stay tuned…
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…
The towboat actually pushes the river barge. Shouldn’t they call it a push boat?
