-Summer At Watersedge Chicago-
Fall used to be my favorite time of year. I liked summer; but I took it for granted. Now, as I approach my 70th birthday, I find that my love of summer is conversely related to how many more I believe I may have left. I like to think of the lake as God's great watering hole- where we all come for spiritual sustenance- where there are no tribes, no Red or Blue, just friends and neighbors enjoying a sunny day. I try to capture that simple humanity in my work. I hope you enjoy.

Dateline: Chicago- Due To Severe Thunderstorms And Flooding, Fireworks To Celebrate Our Nation's 250th Birthday Are Cancelled
So in the absence of photos for this year, I offer my favorite 4th of July pics from the last couple of years. They have never been published and are beautiful in their own right. It would have been nice to have fireworks on such a momentous occasion, but what's a photographer to do. I hope you enjoy them nonetheless,

Every morning is different and beautiful in its own way, and reminds us that there is order in the universe.
- Catch A Moonrise -
The sun has set in the west, and now sister Moon rises in the east. She sails across the night sky chasing her sister Sun. I dream a melancholy dream'neath her pale moonlight, till sister Sun rises again in the east, to the joy of the day, and the end of the night. RJ
