High School Musical Friends

This could be a companion piece to this post. The focus is kind of crazy (still learning!) but I like how it captures the genuine friendships that these students have enjoyed.

That’s my dear bride of 30 years in the background, my youngest son in the foreground, and in the middle: my grandson! Family time is the best. By the way, grand-parenthood comes highly recommended!

5 Mile Bridge

I love this little bridge! It is a little more than the half way point on a favorite bike ride that I take.
I love this little bridge! It is a little more than the half way point on a favorite bike ride that I take. Located near this bridge are some beautiful barns that I have previously posted here and here. The road I take is called Old Stage Road and it basically follows the Illinois River, winding through the peaceful countryside.

all aboard

It wasn't exactly a good day for riding, but for a Spring that just can't seem to find the Midwest, it wasn't so bad. This was taken on the Illinois River Bridge @ Morris.

winter’s way is passing

Winter Barns

winter’s way is passing

empty barns stand sure

quiet stories ‘neath the trees

whispered tales

forgotten days

beneath the cold

faith will grow

faith must grow

Winter Barns

winter’s way is passing

come and grow with me

time is sliding past our door

tears are melting

restored are dreams

beneath the cold

hope will grow

hope must grow

     winter’s way is passing

     come and sing with me

     fill the days with melody

     i’m yours alone

Winter Barns

Winter Barns

our hearts are one

beneath the cold

love will grow

love must grow

Chicago METRA trains are quite cool. This is my preferred method of getting to the heart of the windy city!
