This has been a wonderful week loving on my elderly parents, laughing with my siblings, and walking along the shore during this trip to my home town: East Meadow, NY. So grateful to take home some new memories… grateful for family, friends, and, this beautiful world…
I am enjoying a visit with my parents this week on Long Island, in New York. My parents still live in the house I grew up in, which makes coming home lots of fun! This was taken at Jones Beach, not far from my home in New York. These structures house the lights that illuminate the Jones Beach Water Tower.
Taken at the Field Museum in Chicago.
My oldest son, and his son. I am blessed.
We are having a very cold and snowy winter in the Midwest, but my youngest son and I went out for a winter expedition after the snow storm, and, before the temperatures plummeted – it is now -15 Fahrenheit. It was absolutely beautiful.
This was taken last year. 😉 Welcome to 2014!
Wishing my WordPress family a safe, and very Happy New Year! This was taken in good ole Chicago. Blog on!
And here are just three of the many things that I saw at the Field Museum in Chicago…
Spent some time in Chicago this past Wednesday with my colleagues and ran across this in the lobby of a building. I wish I took more time to take photos of this because the reflective surfaces would be fun to work with.
Well…. since winter has made a grand entrance into the Chicago area, sending temperatures deep into chilly territory (a low of 10 degrees Fahrenheit tonight and a high of 19 degrees Fahrenheit tomorrow), I thought I would post a couple of images from back home. This is a parking spot for bikes at Jones Beach, on Long Island. I grew up about 15 minutes from the beaches along the southern shore of Long Island, and I miss them very much. New York has some of the most beautiful beaches in the world (not that I have sampled many shores around this world… that being said, I am totally biased, and, right!). Anytime I am in NY, whatever the season, I take time to head for the beach and enjoy…. salty air, the constant white noise of the waves, the vast ocean… and time visiting so many memories of family and friends along the shore…
