August is showing it can do summer….warm days and almost cool evenings have made for some beautiful days here. You can see that Fall and Winter are on their way back…the sunrise is later and the sunset is earlier… looking forward to the change of seasons…
Lot’s of rain yields lots of beautiful green cornfields (if you happen to think cornfields are beautiful!). It has been a BUSY, but wonderful summer. I may not be around WordPress land this week as I fulfill my role as a chaperone for our high school’s band camp this week…. I am not quite sure if we have internet. All to say, have a wonderful week, see you soon!
…and here is the next image that, this summer, is a rare sight….a sunny, warm, day. Our youngest daughter is getting married tomorrow, so between celebrations and good times I may be gone for a bit. I will try and post something from our fun! Have a great weekend everyone!
This image and the next pretty much sum up the summer here in the northern Illinois plains. The rains have somewhat diminished in frequency, but river flooding continues. I was at meeting the night this was taken and missed some pretty spectacular colors from this crazy sunset…but I managed to capture a few and thought this was the best of the bunch. This is about a 5 minute walk from my home.
A second shot taken in the same location as the previous post. I just love sunsets 🙂
Taken in Marseilles, IL on the same day as this post. The clouds, colors, light and shade just danced into the night…. beautiful…
Another shot showing the Illinois River flooding at William G. Stratton State Park. Morris, IL. The rain has finally stopped, so hopefully the river will recede.
Take a hike along the I&M Canal, turn left at the train trestle, hike along the tracks to the river and you will find this bridge.
We have had a rainy spring, so I thought it best not to walk on this dock while the river was a bit higher than usual.
