a little red barn and a bicycle

As seen on a late, warm summer day in Minooka, Illinois.

trek jones beach

Back to Jones Beach for this post. While home this summer I did something that I don’t remember doing while growing up on Long Island: I rode my bicycle along the Wantagh State Parkway to Jones Beach. You can read about the bike path here. It is full of bikers, runners, people on roller blades and walkers. I rode from East Meadow to Seaford where the path begins in Cedar Creek Park. I loved these early morning rides and enjoying a quiet, almost deserted beach. I felt like I had the boardwalk all to myself. I also was able to take more photos of the Jones Beach water tower (images coming soon). Can’t wait to do it again!

the stillness of morning

…an early morning journey…

….chasing my shadow into the west…

…then peace…

…in the stillness of morning…

snow rider

The Snow Rider rides again!

The weather got a bit warmer and I got tired of nursing an achy knee…. so….

…the Snow Rider once again rode along the river…

…and he was glad he did.

from a morning ride

…..the meeting of the fishermen….

….old canal locks….

…..the spillway…

…….my Trek on a bridge…

that’s how we ride

I am enjoying the summer and opportunities to ride and take some photos. Taken this past week on the bridge that crosses the Illinois River in Morris, Illinois.
