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!

One of my favorite spots to photograph along the Illinois River. Must have been in a somber mood when I worked on this image 🙂

This is the second of a set of three images taken on a hike that I took this past Fall. Sorry for the long pause between posts. We just finished up our Christmas production at church. Each year I write the script and coordinate musicians and other artists. On a sad note, I lost a dear friend who passed away suddenly. I also sang at a service for a young mom who passed away in our community. So, there has been lots of sadness, amidst the joy and celebration of Christmas…

Somewhere in Chicago, if you look up, I am confident that you will see something like this…. just not quite sure where…. exactly…..

My impression of what I saw on a crisp, bright, beautiful, Autumn day.

I need to laugh, and when the sun is out
I’ve got something I can laugh about
I feel good, in a special way
I’m in love and it’s a sunny day  —  The Beatles
