Taken along the banks of the Illinois River after a bike ride.
you bring me life
the stillness of morning
…an early morning journey…
….chasing my shadow into the west…
…then peace…
…in the stillness of morning…
until we “meet” again
The sun doing some painting over the Illinois River in Morris, IL. This may be my last post for a week or so. I will be in Haiti this week on a missions trip and will enjoy sunrises there! We will be ministering to widows and orphans with a team of talented high school students and adults. Until we “meet” again, have a wonderful week!
river moments
Like many of you, I struggle to parallel park my car, so, I can’t imagine guiding these long behemoths along the Illinois River!

The second image from my meanderings along the banks of the Illinois River. This is a favorite spot…if you have been hanging around my blog for a while you will probably recognize it. Have a great week!

The first of a few images from my meanderings around Illinois River. This is the bridge that crosses the river in Marseilles, IL.
locks at marseilles il
Taken back in June of last year when we were having record rains. These locks are located at Marseilles, IL. A series of 8 locks enable shipping between Lake Michigan and the Mississippi River.
In other news, decided to change up the theme of the blog. Would appreciate any feedback, or, if you have any WordPress themes you would like to recommend…
Also, in case you might be wondering, ‘rutakintome’ is pronounced “are you takin’ to me.” What can I say? I am a New Yorker and Robert DeNiro fan.
lonely tree
Happy 2016 everyone! Well, from the weather side of things, the end of 2015 looks a lot like the significant flooding we had about 7 months ago. December was unusually warm and ended with a wintry mix of ice pellets, followed by flooding rain. Due to our flight being cancelled, and the resulting backlog, I was not able to get to Haiti. We hope to go in May. This is a lonely tree wondering why the Illinois River is so high….again. Here’s to warmer times…. cheers!
