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…
It’s that time of year again… you know… where I go through the images from this past year… delete lots that I will never look at again (or don’t want to look at again) and find a few that ask me to take a second look. This is one of them. Taken earlier this year when I was in New York with my oldest son, visiting my elderly parents. It was a cold, cloudy, damp and dark day… but it didn’t matter. I was sharing time with my son and my dear parents…
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.)
Be grateful. You’ll feel much better. I promise.
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with some dear friends, and afterwards we were taken to the basement of their beautiful home where we visited a fantastic, gigantic, wonderful small world…
That’s my oldest and his son. So, this is a father capturing a picture of a father’s joy in his son, taken by the father of that father, while taking joy in his son’s joy of his son… life and love… so grateful…
Somewhere in Chicago, if you look up, I am confident that you will see something like this…. just not quite sure where…. exactly…..
The second of three posts from the city of Chicago. Chicago winters are harsh, so I am not quite sure why this is an open air station. Perhaps it was a cost decision, or, the we-can-take-whatever-winter-decides-to-dish-out Chicago-attitude. I have a feeling that it’s option “b.”
