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…

ormond by the seaTaken from our recent trip to Florida. Ormond by the Sea is a beautiful little town north of Daytona Beach. We had a wonderful day visiting family and enjoying the beach.

Bilbo: “I want to see mountains again, mountains Gandalf…” I feel like Bilbo, and, miss the beauty of Montana. Taken this past summer.

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.

gotta love the midwest part 2

This was taken just a few moments after my previous post. There is a little story behind this image. The sky was stunning that day, so I began to think, "How could I be creative?" Then, it came to me! I' take a picture upside down. I know!! BRILLIANT! So-- I laid down on the road (yes... the brilliance is just oozing out!) and took this shot with the camera upside down. It was many hours later when I remembered that Lightroom, Photoshop, Pixelmator, etc., can easily flip and image. So much for artistic brilliance!

gotta love the Midwest

This is a short walk from my home. I am originally from New York, so, it took me along time to get over not living near an ocean (actually, I am still not over that!), not being able to bum around Manhattan, and, no mountains. It is VERY flat around here, however, over time, I have come top appreciate the 360 degree horizon, beautiful skies. This is the first of two shots taken moments apart that are examples of beautiful skies.
