Penning Photography Daily

I took a tour of Lake Springfield today after work.

Looking for interest.

I found it in West Cotton Hill Park on the far south side of the lake near the I-55 exit.

A park, with some soggy ground, and no one around.

I gingerly stepped on the grassy parts and wound my way to the shoreline.

This tableau of picnic benches against the silhouette of trees with the waning sun behind spoke to me.

I can imagine the park is waiting to dry out a bit from the recent rains. Warm weather will bring families and friends to spend time sharing a meal and good times at the lakeside.

A cool breeze then would be welcome. Today, it was chilly.

Soon enough, laughter and warm friendships will fill the spaces here.
