Speaks To Me

Saw this in one of the stores on the Christmas walk in Leclaire and it just brought to mind so many people I know...

Symphony of Lights in Clinton.

Went to Clinton with My Elderly sister, the twins,Old lady Gimm,Caretaker Jane and Lulu to see the Symphony of Lights that the Chamber puts on every year in Eagle Point Park. Taking pictures of lights I knew wouldn't come out that good but here is a couple.
The old and the young liked it equally.

November 8th and its 75 out

The last couple days its been really nice out. So day off and nothing much to do. I decide to go for a walk.. Down to the river front and over to the government bridge.

The bridge is in some record book for being old and still working. Not something I want to think about as I walk/drive over it...
The nice looking walkway up to the bridge.
That you can look through to the ground below...way way ...maybe 10 ft below. And the rushing river.


Two ducks out enjoying the day.

How Long Has This Been Here.

This is an area off the Centennial Bridge by the Y. I saw it a couple of months ago and thought "how long has that been there?" I found out it been there about 10 years. The big rock for a little longer. Its all the Germans that settled in the area.

Digital Camera 2.0

I got an early Christmas present from the sister. A digital camera. Now I have one already but it really doesn't work that well. Oh you get great pictures if its sunny or very well lite and no one moves for two minutes while it thinks if it wants to take the picture. Now we go onto camera two or maybe its six. These are taken before I bothered to read the directions. The owners manual is on a disc so I had to wait til I got home and put it in the computer to see what half the stuff did and why it all looked over exposed. Get ready for a lot of pictures of anything that catches my eye.
