Bob and I have been trying to get out and enjoy some time outside before the weather really changes and we don't want to be out there.
We're really blessed in our area by a trail system that's been set up to run near the Grand River for many miles. It's a continuous trail that's 36 miles long, from Grand Rapids to Grand Haven and is designed for walking and biking, and in some areas kayaking and canoeing.
We've walked several sections of this trail, and went walking on it again recently. We did a section we've walked before, but went a little further this time.
Unique mushrooms we saw along the way.
More wildflowers.
It was a great way to enjoy sunshine and God's beautiful creation!
Dear Mari, what a magnificent place to explore and enjoy a walk in God's beautiful creation. It looks pretty and serene. I love the views, the water, the mushrooms 🍄 look like a work of art. God's art. The glorious rays of sunlight shimmering in a few of your pictures add to the majestic beauty.
ReplyDeleteThe shadows play another role in the glory of God's masterpiece.
Thank you so much for sharing. 😊
Oh how pretty. The river reminds me of my Sacramento river and we too have a trail system for biking, walking, and skating. I like that pathway too. What a romantic place to be. The wildflowers are so colorful.
ReplyDeleteWish we had a place as pretty as that to go out and explore and walk. The two wildflowers were gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteIt is all so beautiful! For some reason, make me think of the Garden of Eden!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for taking us on this beautiful walk with you.
ReplyDeleteThe wildflowers are still gorgeous too-especially that last shot of the purple ones.
Such a lovely way to spend time outside and do something together. It looks beautiful Mari.
ReplyDeleteNice nature photos, you still have the colors of summer in nature.
ReplyDeleteI also always think in nature how beautifully God has made nature for us humans and animals. It shows God's love for us.
Have a nice day, Mari!
Thank you, Mari, for sharing these gorgeous photos with all of us here. You do live in such a beautiful area of the country. Wow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I wish we had such a nice walking place here!
ReplyDeleteWe will start walking in January when my husband will be retired.
That trail sounds wonderful and it looks like a great walk! What pretty pictures.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful walk and so much to see. That sure was a pretty big tree that fell. Janice
ReplyDeleteYour area is so beautiful. What lovely views to be out walking in.
ReplyDeleteWhat a magical place to walk and kudos to Michigan for setting up trails for enjoying the outdoors. 36 miles of walking places is quite a huge set aside place for people to enjoy.
ReplyDeleteYour photos are so beautiful. I especially like the "Bouquet of Mushrooms" (:0)
