It has been quite a while since I took out my TREK and went for a ride.
It was a gorgeous morning…
Thanks for stopping by.
Tag: I&M Canal
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.
tree
Not much else to say here….except that trees are cool. Have a great weekend.
and…..breathe…
Sorry for the space in between posts…. I have been on…well…. an adventure of sorts. Was hospitalized for one night earlier this week due to difficulty breathing….great difficulty breathing. Long story short, I am all right, but have been ill since Oct. 6. Cough, wheezing…etc. On meds and on the mend now.
I took a short stroll to try and soothe some cabin fever and brought my camera. In our corner of the world fall fell, and is falling away towards winter, but there are still moments where you just wait…and let the colors saturate your soul and fuel your wonder and…..breathe…
i really don’t know clouds at all
Working on a poem for this one…but not quite there yet, so, for now a nod to a favorite song from Joni Mitchell.
illinois river bridge
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.
ice pies?
Not quite sure what else to call those ice disks. This is the first of three images taken at the Aux Sable access on the historic I&M Canal. The Illinois Michigan Canal is a 96 mile canal that connects the Great Lakes to the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. This is the first of three images taken at the locks at Aux Sable.
river ents
Took another ride today…. the weather is unusually warm for January…. I waited to see if these Ents would say anything…. they didn’t.
bridge and sun
This is the final image from a hike that I took earlier this Fall. You can see this bridge at the end of the tracks in this post. It’s a relatively short hike and a fun spot to explore. Just can’t figure out – yet – how to get to the top of that bridge. Shhhhh….. 🙂
untitled
Taken when the earth was a bit warmer in late fall. Feel free to suggest a title if you like…
