Taken this week at a park along the Illinois River. It was a cold, but sunny day, so off I went on my favorite activity: riding and taking pictures. Somewhere in this world there is a Spring looking for the Chicago area. To that Spring I say, “WE ARE HERE!”
This pretty much sums up the area that we live in. We are close to a nuclear power plant and there are lots of high voltage trees “growing” on the endless corn and soybean fields here on the plains. After a while you do appreciate the beauty of the plains…
The I & M Canal Tow Path. I guess I was in a “dreamy” mood. Hope you enjoy.
I enjoy taking a hike to this bridge over the Illinois River. You walk along the tracks that slice between corn fields, trees, and high voltage towers. Shhhhh… don’t tell anyone, but my goal is to climb those stairs…… shhhhh…..
Located on the I & M Canal at 5 Mile Bridge, I have been told that this barn dates back to the construction of the canal in the 1800’s. The barn has many stories, sits as a lonely reminder of a forgotten time, and, as seasons change, it seems to get dressed in whatever the weather brings out, and always looks fine.
Dear WordPress family,
We are now 100 strong, which means I need another job to feed all of you! 🙂
Thank you so much for your inspiration and support!

This week we had a couple of days above freezing so the roads cleared up enough to go on my first bike ride of 2014. Passed this scene on my way home. Looking forward to warmer days!
Most of the Chicago area was transformed into the ice planet Hoth this winter. Tauntauns would have been helpful…. except for the smell. This was taken at Robert Moses State Park, on Long Island in New York. (No Tauntauns were harmed in the taking and processing of this photograph.)
Robert Moses State Park. Love the shore…. any time of year…. I love the shore…
