still here

Sorry for my absence from WordPress land. I have been focusing on finishing up my second Master’s degree, getting a nasty upper respiratory cold and, a bit of travel as well. This was taken on a certain bridge that I finally ascended.

Taken at Starved Rock State Park in Oglesby Illinois. The overwhelming geographical feature of the midwest plains is: flat! So, I never get tired of hiking the caverns, paths, and waterfalls of Starved Rock. Hope you can see it some day!

Like many of you, I struggle to parallel park my car, so, I can’t imagine guiding these long behemoths along the Illinois River!

The second image from my meanderings along the banks of the Illinois River. This is a favorite spot…if you have been hanging around my blog for a while you will probably recognize it. Have a great week!
