Another shot showing the Illinois River flooding at William G. Stratton State Park. Morris, IL. The rain has finally stopped, so hopefully the river will recede.

illinois river
We have had a rainy spring, so I thought it best not to walk on this dock while the river was a bit higher than usual.
ice pies?
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.
the not so bleak
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.
january river
I have been enjoying the relatively warmer weather for January in the Chicago area (34 degrees is like a heat wave!) by taking some bike rides along the Illinois River. After being rather inactive, I am looking forward to some more exercise and racking up the miles!
river ents
Took another ride today…. the weather is unusually warm for January…. I waited to see if these Ents would say anything…. they didn’t.
snow rider
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.
bridge and light
One of my favorite spots to photograph along the Illinois River. Must have been in a somber mood when I worked on this image 🙂
