The first to two images of the barn where my daughter had her wedding earlier in August. It was a lot of work to decorate this space, but also lots of fun! The bride was beautiful, the father cried, and a good time was had by all.
river life
Usually I am at this location early in the morning with sea gulls, or geese. On this visit the river had many visitors and activity.
Jerusalem
From a trip to the Holy Land a few years ago. The Church of All Nations can be seen in the center left of the image. Also known as the Church or Basilica of the Agony, it is a Roman Catholic church located on the Mount of Olives next to the Garden of Gethsemane.
cornfield
Another shot taken just behind where we live. This is pretty much our landscape: cornfields, and soy bean fields…. but it sure can be beautiful…
flower power
Getting in touch with my inner 60’s child. Taken just outside our front door.
reflections
This pond is a moment’s walk from our home. I wasn’t aware how beautiful it could look till I took this picture on my way back from a walk. Sometimes you don’t have to go very far to find a “photo worthy” location!
by a st lucia road
I enjoyed taking a 2.5 mile walk on my recent trip to St. Lucia, mostly because it was much easier than taking the 2.5 mile run! The volcanic island of Saint Lucia is more mountainous than many other Caribbean islands, so you are almost constantly going up or down, making running a bit more challenging that running here in the plains of the Mid West.
dustin and andrea
So my oldest daughter got married this past weekend and, as father of the bride (and one of the pastors of the wedding), it would not have been appropriate for me to walk around with my camera taking all kinds of pictures, even though that is exactly what I wanted to do 😉 I did manage to take one picture with my phone. This is an image of the artwork that my colleague (and other pastor in the wedding) created during a song, and while I took the couple through communion and their vows. It was a weekend of love, fun, celebration and, beautiful artistry.
from a morning ride
…..the meeting of the fishermen….
….old canal locks….
…..the spillway…
…….my Trek on a bridge…
bridge and clouds
One of the aspects of photography I love is the way that it helps me to see a single location in different ways. I have been to this place countless times and it is amazing to me how different “by the riverside” can look. I think to myself:
“What a wonderful world.”
