And just before you head out to enjoy your weekend, another shot of the Jones Beach Water Tower. I have a few more images coming from my trip back home this past January. The Art Deco style of this tower (this 84 year old beauty is an actual functioning water tower) is representative of the bath houses and other structures in this beautiful state park.

In complete defiance of the Midwest winter that cannot be stopped, here is a moment taken at Jones Beach. Here is a little bit of what I remember about my favorite place…

I wrote about our recent trip to Montana here. This was taken after we took a truck ride up to the top of a mountain (I think it was called Granite Peak).

Taken at Devil’s Lake, in Wisconsin, back in April. I went there to spend a couple of days hiking with my oldest son. It was a very chilly, cloudy, day – not the best day for photographs. For some reason, I was drawn to this image. Hope you enjoy.

Illinois River

Taken during a ride this past Tuesday. The weather here has been exceptional for August: refreshingly cool days and near chilly nights! The Illinois River is not what I would call a "majestic" river, but in this image, the river looks pretty good!

We recently had the opportunity to spend some time in New Buffalo, MI. This is a small, beautiful lakeside town on the east side of Lake Michigan.
