Back to one of my favorite parks: William G. Stratton State Park, Morris, Illinois. It is usually peaceful here and it is a nice place to see the seasons change. Looking forward to the beauty and color of the Fall season at this park!

Another shot from my recent motorcycle excursion. It is a rainy day here today, but tomorrow the sun will be shining down on me and my Harley, so, we will be exploring, and yes, I will take the camera. Have a wonderful week!

If you join me on a 30 minute motorcycle ride we will arrive at a large wind farm that I like to visit. I am not quite sure why I find these large pinwheels to fascinating, but I do.

This was seen in Logan’s Square, Chicago. This will be my last post for the next week or so. I am out of town with my bride to a worship conference. Have a great week everyone!!

Can’t think of a better way to end a day…..

The towboat actually pushes the river barge. Shouldn’t they call it a push boat?

Usually I am at this location early in the morning with sea gulls, or geese. On this visit the river had many visitors and activity.

Another shot taken just behind where we live. This is pretty much our landscape: cornfields, and soy bean fields…. but it sure can be beautiful…

This pond is a moment’s walk from our home. I wasn’t aware how beautiful it could look till I took this picture on my way back from a walk. Sometimes you don’t have to go very far to find a “photo worthy” location!

One of the aspects of photography I love is the way that it helps me to see a single location in different ways. I have been to this place countless times and it is amazing to me how different “by the riverside” can look. I think to myself:

“What a wonderful world.”
