Out Ioway

My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of Heaven and earth,
He will not let your foot slip-
He who watches over you will not slumber.
-Psalms 121:2,3

Life at Prairie Bridges Park

Needing to buy a couple of items at the local store, I grabbed my camera and decided to grab a bit of alone time in my favorite getaway. The 2 gig memory card I received for Christmas just--might--come in handy, heh, heh.

Not a lot of life in the park, to be sure, but plenty of light and angles.

On frozen pond
 

This just looked better in black and white.
 I think there used to be a covered bridge across this railroad track. When we first moved here in '94, my selective memory recalls a sign in Ackley that said, "Save our bridge." Half hidden off in the trees was a broken down structure that looked like a covered bridge. That disappeared soon after. My feeble attempts at research has turned up nothing so far. I should probably just ask a neighbor :-)

Random dried seed pods
 

Paws across the pond
  

Creek of nobility
 

Signs of safe passage
 

Artificial ferns cover real plant-life
 

Still, cold beauty

So nice, in fact,I found myself relaxing and the stress of the day slipping away. Probably extended my life by 30 seconds or so. Thanks.

Now it's back to work!
