A small detour during a work road trip took me to a beautiful Benedictine monastery in the Northwest corner of the state. I’ve been here a few times before, but there’s something new to photograph every time. There’s a wonderful collection of Madonnas, the Basilica, small grottos on the grounds…it’s a peaceful, holy place. Given…

Beauty is in the journey…
…not in the destination, as this video proves in the most ridiculously gorgeous way. Ah-mazing.
Redefining Rest Stop
What better way to break up a six and a half hour drive from Madison than a stroll through Anderson Japanese Gardens in Rockford, Illinois? What an amazingly beautiful, peaceful place.

A different look
Earlier this year, I took a road trip to Centralia, Illinois, to visit one of our hospitals. The trip was on the other side of a decent snow fall, so the scenery was bleak and somewhat surreal. I’ve been wanting to go back and see how things look during a different season — and today I…
