Fountains!

Summer has long since passed, but nonetheless I wanted to share several images I captured in my travels this past summer. What is it about water that attracts us humans? These are two fountain images I photographed while traveling in Indiana and Illinois. The first fountain image was taken while visiting Nashville, Indiana's quaint arts and crafts village. The latter image is a fountain in Long Grove Village, in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. Such lush green foliage. Makes me yearn for those long summer days. I guess these photos will have to do until summer comes again. Enjoy!

Bridge, Long Grove Village Park, Chicago, Illinois

While trekking around Chicago this summer, I stopped to take a photo of this bridge traversing a creek in Long Grove Village, not far from the covered bridge. It was just begging me to take a photo of it so I had to comply. What is it about wooden planks and a rusting rail that makes one want to walk over and peer down into the creek. I don't know the answer to that, but I did do it. Long Grove is such a cool little village with a ton of charm. Plan a stop sometime if you are in Chicago for a visit. Enjoy!

Long Grove Village, Chicago, Illinois

A few of my photos taken with my digital camera this week from my visit to Long Grove Village in the northwest suburbs of Chicago. The village is small enough to walk the entire town in an afternoon. The covered bridge sits at one entrance and is adjacent to a small park with a grassy meadow. Very nice fine art, fashion and home decor shoppes. I had visited the village five years ago and decided to include it in my trip this week. If ever you plan a trip to Chicago, plan on spending a few hours in Long Grove.
