Welcome to the great, wide, wonderful, ridiculously frigid Polar Vortex of 2019! Thought I would venture out into the eye of the vortex and see what it was like.
Well… wind chill temps were around -30 making both holding a camera and pressing the shutter button a challenge.
Still, I was glad to get out and capture a few images and, even happier to get back home! Wherever you are, I hope it’s warmer than it is here! Thanks for stopping by!
And just like that…winter arrives. November has been an unusually warm month here in the mid-west, but winter made a beautiful, grand entrance today. This is the church where I serve as a pastor.
i am grateful for steps… the journey… gold and grave…
i am grateful for breath… the rhythm… singing out loud…
i am grateful for light… the assurance… darkness cannot abide…
i am grateful for love… love and friendship… i am not alone…
i am grateful for mystery… all that is unkown… i will trust the author…
i am grateful… for you…
Another image from my February trip back home to NY. Now that the mild weather has finally reached the Midwest it’s hard to believe that just a few week ago this was reality. I do, however, love the shore during the Fall and Winter. Feel free to suggest a title. Thanks for stopping by.
The title sounds like the beginning of a nice poem, or a novel about a photographer’s adventures on the shores of a long island… but, for now, it will serve as a title. Taken on my recent trip to Jones Beach. Thanks for stopping by.

Under the snowboardwalk, snowboardwalk!

I know, back to the shore! Sorry… it is home, memories, peace, serenity and sentimental nostalgia. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it. Thanks for stopping by.
Another favorite spot along the I & M Canal. This beautiful barn looks great all year long.
The second of three images from a favorite location of mine. The “snow disks” from the previous post are at the bottom right corner, just out of the frame of this picture. This is the locktender’s house at the Aux Sable Access along the Illinois and Michigan Canal.
