G is for Grant Park

Happy 4th of July!
I hope that everyone in the states has a wonderful holiday filled with food and fireworks or whatever you enjoy most on this day. Normally I would put together a short holiday greeting and leave it at that, but it's another week of Alphabe Thursday. Are you ready? Let's go!

I recently made my second trip to Grant Park in Milwaukee. Grant Park is best known for its expansive stretch of beach and collection of bridges, which were two of the main subjects that I photographed the first time I was there back in April.



This excursion took a completely different direction that didn't include the beach (from beach level anyway, views of the lake were still abundant) or the bridges. And there were so much to see! I still can't believe it. The excursion didn't even begin to scratch the surface.











Check out what the other Alphabe participants posted this week for the letter G right here!

  16. I can feel myself relaxing as I look at all of these photos. My favorite? The second last one, where the blooms stands against the lake background. Is that clover? I'm terrible at identifying plants.

  17. These grand photos remind me a lot of road trips we took in Ohio to the Great Lakes!

    This was such a glorious blog to visit on this muggy, triple-digit Arizona day!
