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

river life
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.

bridge and clouds
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.”

Pretty self explanatory 🙂 Taken on a beautiful, misty morning ride…

I guess you can say that I have grown fond of this building. I have taken a few shots of it in the dead of winter, but this is what it looks like in the summer. (Still trying to find a way in to take some interior pictures. Shhhhh….) 🙂
a father and his boys
The summer here has been so kind….cool nights and warm days….usually we are just in sweltering heat in August… took a motorcycle ride and it was too cool an evening to go much further with the light jacket I was wearing, so I stopped at one of my favorite parks and caught this man just spending some time with his boys…
morning ride
Hello WordPress family! Missed you guys 🙂 Finally home after a two week trip to St. Lucia with our church’s student team. We had a BLAST, and, I am so proud of the work of our students. This was taken this week during one of my early morning rides. I may post one or two St. Lucia pics. Have a great weekend!
that’s how we ride
I am enjoying the summer and opportunities to ride and take some photos. Taken this past week on the bridge that crosses the Illinois River in Morris, Illinois.
1st X-T1
I recently sold all my Canon gear and the proceeds went towards the purchase of a Fujifilm X-T1 with Fujifilm XF 18-55 and XF 10-24 lenses. This is my first post using the new camera and 10-24mm lens. I have lots to learn, and lots of 5D MarkII images to post as well, but this is sort of a milestone for me. Hope you enjoy! This was taken in Morris, IL, along the banks of the Illinois River.
