The tail end of summer


A couple of weeks ago, I took my camera along when I rode with Larry to work.  I usually ride with him, about a 13 mile round trip.   I snapped pictures of the ride, which winds through disparate areas of the 13th largest city in the U.S.  If you are interested, you can see the entire trip at this link:

Ride to work.

I also shot some pictures of the city park we live next to.  It is the oldest public park in Indy, and one of the main reasons we settled in this neighborhood.


There are a lot of artifacts from years ago, like this stairway to heaven :-)

If you would like to stroll through the park, follow this link:

In Garfield Park

The kids are back in school, and the days are slowly getting shorter.  Time to pull out the hooks, needles, and yarn and work on Christmas future.  Hope your days are lovely.
