Taken in Marseilles, IL on the same day as this post. The clouds, colors, light and shade just danced into the night…. beautiful…

Another shot showing the Illinois River flooding at William G. Stratton State Park. Morris, IL. The rain has finally stopped, so hopefully the river will recede.

Take a hike along the I&M Canal, turn left at the train trestle, hike along the tracks to the river and you will find this bridge.

We have had a rainy spring, so I thought it best not to walk on this dock while the river was a bit higher than usual.

The title sounds like the beginning of a nice poem, or a novel about a photographer’s adventures on the shores of a long island… but, for now, it will serve as a title. Taken on my recent trip to Jones Beach. Thanks for stopping by.

I know, back to the shore! Sorry… it is home, memories, peace, serenity and sentimental nostalgia. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Thanks for stopping by.
