A walk in the park with my Daughter turned out to be a good day. She just got over a bad cold and I needed to get out of the house. We had fun and saw lots of different nature scenes.
such as... duck_reflection , mama_and_babies , sleep_float and caspian_tern ( this I could not get a good shot of, but I never had seen this bird before)
We took some photos of trees for the challenge. reflection_of_3 , tree_in_water , water_reflection
And my Daughter got into the tree thing. ;) love_pat and kissing_the_tree
Hope you enjoy and thanks for looking. :)

Sunday we went for a drive to an area south of us - Saugatuck and Douglas, Michigan. This is known as an artist community - there are several galleries and lots of little consignment shops. Pederson Mill is a tourist stop. We had never stopped so even though the mill was closed I had Wim stop so I could take some pictures.

Went to the MO Botanical Gardens the other day; my first trip there. It is absolutely beautiful! Here's a few shots from there:

I didn't tell y'all anything about this place in my last post; I will rectify that now. The lake, which is 18,000 acres, was formed back in early 1812 when a volcano erupted at New Madrid, MO. They didn't measure quakes back then, but it's been said this was the strongest "feeling" one to date. The lake isn't very deep; trees still grow everywhere and the "stumps" that are there have been formed by the lake. That is the context of this post.

I'm in Dyersburg, TN this week, and this is really close to a place we go fishing about 2 or 3 times a year. I took a drive out there this morning and thought I'd share the place with you. I took lots of pics, so I'll split it up in two posts. The first one will consist of places and things that are typical of the area. On the drive out, I had to pull over and gaze at

Saw some ducks today. Thankfully, I made it out ok.
