shore time 5

We are all on a journey… we are all followers… we give our allegiance and attention to that which we understand will bring us redemption, or, some kind of relief from the darkness in this world and the darkness that lies within. As you journey on may you find peace and solace, grace and light, rest and welcome.

Almost done with my shore time moments. A little more artsy for this post, but, I think the last one will be in color… or…would you prefer black and white?

Another moment along the shore.

shore time 2

The second in a series of photographs from my recent trip back to New York. I drove home to Illinois yesterday with memories of wonderful moments with my  mom and dad, family, and, of course, the shore.

In case you missed my last post, I am in New York due to my dad’s recent open heart surgery. We brought him home today and he is doing remarkably well. A trip to New York always affords me a chance to go to the beach and enjoy a walk along the shore. This is the first of a few photos from Jones Beach, NY.

penn station

The majestic Penn Station, located at 7th & 8th Avenues, between 31st & 33rd Streets in New York, guides the travelers and wanderers of the world.

lonely crown fountain

Normally filled with kids, laughter, water, and, splashing, this is a lonely Crown Fountain in Chicago’s Millennium Park.

and so Christmas day 2017 ends

Goodbye Christmas Day 2017. It was wonderful to be with family and be reminded of how precious it is to care and support each other. It brought joy to my heart to think about friends near and far and be reminded of how my life has been surrounded with so much love and encouragement.  God bless you. Thanks, Christmas Day 2017, for a wonderful day.
