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.

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.

Getting in touch with my inner 60’s child. Taken just outside our front door.

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.

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.”

Pretty self explanatory 🙂  Taken on a beautiful, misty morning ride…

When my Trek stays home, the Harley comes out. 1989. Loud. Fun. Need I say more?

This is the companion to my previous post. Both were taken at the Apple Store on 5th Ave. in New York City.

I love antique shops, and this one was just as much fun on the outside as it was on the inside! Taken in Naperville, IL.

I call it the 5 Mile Barn, because it is near 5 Mile Bridge, west of Morris, IL. I have taken lots of images of it (too many perhaps), but since I pass it on my morning rides, I can’t help but feel that it just is calling to be photographed. I was thinking of going down to it, but the summer rains have really caused the weeds and grass to grow. Plus, there was a rather good sized snake skin right near where this was taken that made me wonder who was waiting for me down there!
