towboat

The towboat actually pushes the river barge. Shouldn’t they call it a push boat?

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.

flower power

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

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.

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.”
