Not quite sure what else to call those ice disks. This is the first of three images taken at the Aux Sable access on the historic I&M Canal. The Illinois Michigan Canal is a 96 mile canal that connects the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. This is the first of three images taken at the locks at Aux Sable.
To follow up the previous post (bleak), here is a winter moment with a different kind of beauty. A cold, crisp, serene sunrise along the banks of the Illinois River. Here at home we are just digging out from an apocalyptic snow storm (frighteningly names “Linus”), so I will visit this spot early in the morning to see a new, wintry sunrise. I love this beautiful world.
The Snow Rider rides again!
The weather got a bit warmer and I got tired of nursing an achy knee…. so….
…the Snow Rider once again rode along the river…
…and he was glad he did.
Dear WordPress family: may you have a blessed Christmas, filled with the love of family and friends. Thank you for being a part of my journey! God bless.
We live near a forest of these gigantic wind turbines. I find them fascinating…
Thought I would share a little home town news for this post. You know that summer has officially come to an end when the Grundy County Cornfest comes to town. This was the 67th year of this celebration that features a rather lengthy parade with politicians, local businesses, and my favorite, marching bands. This is the Minooka Community High School Marching Band. My youngest son plays in the pit (the marimba) and the band is having a great year in competition.
I can’t look at an abandoned building without thinking about people. A team of masons helped construct this building. Electricians and carpenters also had a hand in construction. Men and women with families built this and, later, worked here. Still looking for a way inside… stay tuned…
I love antique shops, and this one was just as much fun on the outside as it was on the inside! Taken in Naperville, IL.
I took my first ride to this location last week, but the weather has not been friendly since. I would love to get inside this building and take some pictures!
