At the Illinois-Wisconsin border the the Des Plaines runs a wide, meandering course through a flat and somewhat marshy landscape. This low area along the river was totally filled with fog on Saturday as the cold overnight air hit the warmer river water.
Have a great week!

"Happy Birthday Shakespeare and Happy St George's Day"!!
Brian Patten was commissioned to write a St George's day poem. He says it contains a line from Shakespeare too, as it's Shakespeare's birthday.
The True Dragon by Brian Patten
St George was out walking
He met a dragon on a hill,
It was wise and wonderful
Too glorious to kill
It slept amongst the wild thyme
Where the oxlips and violets grow
Its skin was a luminous fire
That made the English landscape glow
Its tears were England’s crystal rivers
Its breath the mist on England’s moors
Its larder was England’s orchards,
Its house was without doors
St George was in awe of it
It was a thing apart
He hid the sleeping dragon
Inside every English heart
So on this day let’s celebrate
England’s valleys full of light,
The green fire of the landscape
Lakes shivering with delight
Let’s celebrate St George’s Day,
The dragon in repose;
The brilliant lark ascending,
The yew, the oak, the rose....
(The lines "wild thyme
Where the oxslips and violets grow"
are from A Midsummer Night's Dream)
"Good Day My Friends" :)
Van Patten, a former Confederate soldier constructed a hotel at 6,000 feet elevation in the Organ Mountains in the 1870's. Guests were brought to the hotel by a 17 mile stage line from Las Cruces, New Mexico. The hotel was a success until 1915 when it was closed and sold but the new owner never re-opened it. Crumbling buildings in various stages of decay are all that is left of this once bustling operation on land that is now under the control of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM has placed a rope fence around the ruins in a fruitless effort to keep out curious tourists who hike the three miles to get here.
Happy Fence Friday!
WANNABE WARMER WEDNESDAY # 13
A long ago and faraway dreamy May morning. Just think, soon our (most of us anyway) world will be all green and bright and beautiful again. I'm sooo looking forward to the scenes and smells that spring has to offer.
I'm also looking forward to corned beef and cabbage and perhaps a Baileys Irish Cheesecake for dessert. No, I'm not cooking. We'll be dining out. Happy St Patricks' Day to all!!

On the bridge over Manahassat Creak, looking west-northwest at the point where it feeds into Pleasure Bay (yes that is the name of it) which in turn feeds into the Shrewsbury River.
