shore time

In case you missed my last post, I am in New York due to my dad’s recent open heart surgery. We brought him home today and he is doing remarkably well. A trip to New York always affords me a chance to go to the beach and enjoy a walk along the shore. This is the first of a few photos from Jones Beach, NY.

Let’s kick off 2018 with a view of Michigan Avenue, Chicago. If you can, you need to visit this oh so photogenic city, then, visit yours truly!

and so Christmas day 2017 ends

Goodbye Christmas Day 2017. It was wonderful to be with family and be reminded of how precious it is to care and support each other. It brought joy to my heart to think about friends near and far and be reminded of how my life has been surrounded with so much love and encouragement.  God bless you. Thanks, Christmas Day 2017, for a wonderful day.

you’re a grand old canyon

Another image of the Grand Canyon. We still talk about our trip out west back in September. It was wonderful to be together to explore parts of the country that we have never seen before, to see family and, enjoy road tripping!

I hope to return to the Grand Canyon someday, if only to spend more time learning how to photograph it! I am finding it challenging to find shots that I like as well as working with those shots. What I really want to do, however, is go into that canyon! Hike anyone?
