Well, the California station on the CTA Blue Line in Chicago.

We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with some dear friends, and afterwards we were taken to the basement of their beautiful home where we visited a fantastic, gigantic, wonderful small world…

what time is the next train?

Went for a walk with my wife on the tracks behind our subdivision (yeah… that doesn’t sound like a good idea, does it?….the walking on the tracks part…) and spotted this beautiful mantis taking a walk as well!

rails

We live near the I & M Canal (http://www.canalcor.org/CCA_Hist.html: 96 miles of engineering, history an hard work. It is a great place to take a hike or enjoy a bike ride. When I go with my son we take a little diversion and climb along a train tresse pictured here, and follow the tracks to neat bridge that will show up on this blog soon.
We live near the I & M Canal (http://www.canalcor.org/CCA_Hist.html): 96 miles of engineering, history and hard work. It is a great place to take a hike or enjoy a bike ride. When I go with my son we take a little diversion and climb alongside a train bridge pictured here, and follow the tracks to another bridge visible in this image at the end of the rails. That bridge spans the Illinois River. When I’m here, time slows down a bit… and that’s a good thing.

Illinois River Bridge

Illinois River Bridge

This bridge spans the Illinois River in Morris, IL, just south of the I&M Canal. I love running and bicycle rides along the canal towpath, and this bridge has become a favorite place to explore.
