hello new day

the not so bleak

the note 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.

happy new year and thank you

Hello WordPress family! Missed you guys  🙂  Finally home after a two week trip to St. Lucia with our church’s student team. We had a BLAST, and, I am so proud of the work of our students. This was taken this week during one of my early morning rides. I may post one or two St. Lucia pics. Have a great weekend!

Blue Sunrise

Taken on one of my rides in the country. I was working on this image and just was not happy with any results. Finally changes the white balance and this is the result. Blue is my favorite color!

River Sunrise

It is currently 18 degrees Fahrenheit... seems like Winter just won't leave town. I am eager to get out on my bicycle and go riding to this park along the Illinois River and enjoy warm quiet mornings in the country. If you have our Spring, you can return it... no questions asked. Thank you.
