Happy Wednesday!

Some black & white images for you today.  Monday  I visited the river on the Illinois side and captured these images.

I’m not really much of a river person.  I would much rather be around a large lake then a river.  I have nothing against the river mind you just prefer the aesthetics of a lake.

To my dear friends Kathy and Melinda, thank you for your wonderful words of encouragement.  I am reminded constantly just how important relationships are to the very fabric of life.   As I have aged I have a tendency to be more cynical of people and their motives.   I don’t like that tendency and need to remember the value of having quality people in my life.  🙂

Interesting day ahead of me.  I have to learn a new piece of software.  Normally I do not find learning new things uncomfortable but today may prove to be a challenge.  I am so comfortable and confident with the present way of doing things that I am no relishing the coming struggles of trying to figure out a new system.

Life if full of challenges and it is how we react to those challenges that define the outcome.

That’s enough pontificating for one day.  Hope you enjoyed the images.  I might just start making ever Wednesday a black and white day.  One of the blogs I follow is by a wonderful photographer who lives in Australia.  She has what she calls Monochrome Madness every week.

Her name is Leanne Cole and she has over 39,000 followers of her blog.  Amazing!  If you would like to see some of her work just click here.  But please come back.  🙂

That’s it for today.  Thanks for stopping by the blog.  Enjoy your day and be careful.
