Was in Wisconsin on the shores of Lake Michigan. At state park but can't recall the name. Beautiful forest there with so many interesting plants under the canopy of trees.
I have to admit Julia that when I saw the photo, I thought, opening scene for a movie...cold, lonely, deserted, "what time is it? we need to find shelter before dark" kind of feeling.
I grew up in Detroit but we'd 'get away' to the country and it very often looked just like this, I think that's why I liked the photo...did you enter both?? I am still going through all the pictures!
I'm so glad!! And your kids look happy - Maybe Chi town is good for them! (Chitown is how we hipsters say Chicago!) well back in my day anyway, have no idea how they say it now
