Being outdoors and playing with my camera rank pretty high up my "
favorite things" list. On this cold, gray December morning, I decided to post some shots from a day trip we took in late May to Starved Rock State Park. You may remember this waterfall from a
February blog post. Back then, it was blue and frozen. On this day, it was running freely.

On the way back from the waterfall, we crossed a little bridge. Looking upstream, we get a view of the just-budding leaves. Seems like a long time ago.
