Kenosha's Southport Park

A couple weekends ago I was down in Kenosha, truthfully primary to go shopping at the Pleasant Prairie Premium Outlets, home of my favorite LOFT Outlet in the world. While I was down that way, I checked out the new to me Southport Park. It's further south than I usually venture, even when I'm as far south as Kenosha. While it's nothing special, it's always neat to check out a new corner of the world.

Where have you been exploring lately?

Kenosha, WI on Father's Day

Is anyone else ridiculously behind on editing photos? I have a staggering backlog in Lightroom right now. This issue isn't going to change any time soon, but I'm trying to keep editing some of my newer shots so that I'm not constantly sharing pictures from you know, three or four months ago. The set that I'm sharing today is from just a couple days ago when Jake and I were down in Kenosha, WI with my in-laws and littlest sister-in-law for Father's Day. Enjoy.

K is for Kenosha

Are you ready for another round of Alphabe Thursday? Let's go!

Kenosha is one of those places that I never would have expected to spend a lot of time. It's funny where life takes you. I've spent a good part of my life driving the highways along Lake Michigan from Wisconsin to Indiana. Kenosha has been one of the common stops along that route for many years now. As a result, it's also a place that I've taken a lot of pictures. Today I'm sharing a selection from a September excursion there. Enjoy.

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

EtsyBloggers treasury, my favorite lake, sneak peak

I've been so caught up with everything lately that I didn't think to post my newest EtsyBloggers treasury until now.  I signed up to curate our weekly treasury this week.  I got on such a lime kick with my feature earlier this week that I decided to stick with it for my treasury.

The second sign that I've been so caught up with everything is that I didn't upload my pictures from Labor Day weekend until tonight.  As I'm sure some of you know by now, one of the things that I miss when I'm in Iowa is Lake Michigan.  I always like to visit it when I can when I'm in Chicago or Kenosha.  I had a couple opportunities to visit it when we were in Kenosha for Labor Day.

Anyone who doesn't think that the midwest is beautiful is crazy.

These last two pictures were later in the day, around 7PM.

Finally, I got the final supplies for my pearl bracelet yesterday so I've been hard at work the last couple nights.  I'm still waiting for the proper wire for the coordinating earrings, but I'm hoping to finish the bracelet by the end of the weekend.  Here's a sneak peak.  I took this tonight, and the light box just doesn't work as well when there's no natural light.  I'll get some lighter pictures of the final product.

Have a great weekend everyone!
