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

apple stairs
This is the companion to my previous post. Both were taken at the Apple Store on 5th Ave. in New York City.
room 363
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.
summer barn
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!
st. lucia!
Dear WordPress family: just a quick post from St. Lucia, where we are beginning Day 7 of a 14 day trip. The church where I pastor has been sending a high school student teams to St. Lucia since 2005. We go every three years to love on the kids by sharing the Gospel through our summer day camp called SpyKidz. We take the high energy, joy filled, crazy fun of our week long day camp and condense it to 4 days for the St. Lucia children. On this trip we had a couple of firsts: a visit to a prison and a home for the elderly. Both experiences were difficult, but also life changing. We also do school visits and open air concerts. So proud of our high school students and so proud to be a part of this team!
5 Av 53 St
5 Av and 53 St where, apparently, no one can find a scraper, or, a can of paint. Gotta love New York! This will be my last post for a couple of weeks. Heading out to St. Lucia for a missions trip with 29 high school students from our church’s youth ministry. Looking forward to partnering with the Evangelical Church of the West Indies for a 5th time and seeing old friends as well. Be back soon WordPress family!
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.
1st X-T1
I recently sold all my Canon gear and the proceeds went towards the purchase of a Fujifilm X-T1 with Fujifilm XF 18-55 and XF 10-24 lenses. This is my first post using the new camera and 10-24mm lens. I have lots to learn, and lots of 5D MarkII images to post as well, but this is sort of a milestone for me. Hope you enjoy! This was taken in Morris, IL, along the banks of the Illinois River.
my dad… my son
My dad just turned 74…my son is 26… their lives and experiences are miles apart… on our last full day in NY we took a walk on the boardwalk at Jones Beach and I was so glad to see these two men – who mean the world to me – talk and share moments together. So grateful for family.
jones beach water tower 6
Another shot from my recent trip to NY. This is the rest of the tower featured in the previous post. My dad and my son patiently waited while I walked around this tower and took a bunch of shots. It was a beautiful day to be on the shore!
