Oak Grove Nature Park

I haven't been blogging nearly as much as I'd like. I can't really explain what has slowed me down because I don't know the reason myself. I have pictures from several places that I wanted to share, but I got them before there were leaves on the trees. Now they're kind of old.

I took these pictures you see today at a place called Oak Grove and Big Sioux Park.These are more that I took before the leaves sprouted all over the trees. I really like this park, but I haven't been back there since so far this year.

I'll definitely be going back soon, maybe even in the next few days. I like this nature park because it reminds me of some of my favorite nature parks from back in Michigan. It has plenty of trees, and this great river running through it, and it has plenty of little nature trails to explore.

There is a road that takes you right down to the edge of this river. I kind of like that and I kind of don't. The road means that there is easy access, but it also means that there might be lots of people in the greener months. That's good for them, but I like to be alone at these places.

The good thing for me is that the day I took these pictures there was nobody else around. And this park is kind of isolated so I don't think there ever will be very big crowds of people. I can stand at the edge of this river for a long time relaxing with nobody to bother me.

Have you figured out through so many of my posts that I'm more than a bit of a loner? I don't know why that is, but I kind of like it that way. I sometimes think that it would be good to have people to go along with me through these nature parks, but I don't really know anybody that likes nature like I do. And besides, I've had others go along a few times, and I really like being alone a little better.

I guess I tell that little story every once in a while. I think I tell it to give you a little insight into who I am. Maybe it kind of helps you see who this person is who shares his love of nature with you. I try to tell a little about myself because in the beginning I used to share so little. Some people didn't know whether I was male or female back then, and I thought that was kind of funny. I guess we all need something to amuse ourselves.

Okay I think that's all I really have for you this time. I hope to be back a little sooner next time. I'll talk to you later.
