Sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico
Back in December, I decided that I wanted to start 2025 by watching the sunrise over the Gulf of Mexico from Grand Isle, LA. Candy and I hauled our travel trailer down to Grand Isle State Park. The weather cooperated, and I got three gorgeous shots. Here are small versions of the photos that I […]

Springfield and the Quad Cities
