Bridge and Stairs

As promised, here is a wide shot of the steps that I perviously posted. We live in the plains of the midwest, s this park is fun to go to because it's streams, waterfalls, trees and canyons offer a welcome contrasts to the endless miles of corn and soybean fields - which also have their own beauty... just lots of it!

Up is Down @ The Grand Lux Cafe

I have posted a couple of other images from this wonderful Chicago restaurant. The food is excellent, the menu is varied, the portions HUGE, and, the service courteous and prompt. The atmosphere is elegant, fun, and maintains just the right amount of a casual feel. Wow! I sound like commercial! This is a favorite gathering place for the Garcia clan.

5 Mile Barn

I call it 5 Mile Barn because it is near 5 Mile Bridge outside of Morris, Illinois.

This was taken at Jones Beach, NY, on a much more peaceful day than today. My mind and heart are turned back home. My family is safe, but I know that many are not. I hope that those who have suffered so much during this storm can find peace and safety.
