the daily bread

Recently enjoyed an evening in Chicago with my bride featuring a wonderful meal and experience at Le Pain Quotidien, “the daily bread.” If you are ever in our fair city be sure to check it out!

A quiet moment at the start of the day on a bridge high above the Illinois River.

…with the troubles of the world…

My dear friend passed away yesterday. He is free from pain. He was a person of faith, and, so am I, so in the midst of grief we hold on to hope. Funny…what enters your mind when you reflect on a life well lived, and, the sorrow of loss… I was glad that old spiritual came to mind…

i am coming soon

A chilly wind accompanied this sunrise whispering, “I am winter, and I am coming soon.”

you’re a grand old canyon

Another image of the Grand Canyon. We still talk about our trip out west back in September. It was wonderful to be together to explore parts of the country that we have never seen before, to see family and, enjoy road tripping!

I hope to return to the Grand Canyon someday, if only to spend more time learning how to photograph it! I am finding it challenging to find shots that I like as well as working with those shots. What I really want to do, however, is go into that canyon! Hike anyone?

A bit more of a “traditional” Fall image for this post.
