Winter approaches

We've enjoyed over a week of sunny days in the 70s. Cold and rain approach.
I took a walk over by the Fox River today and snapped a few photos. It was a beautiful morning.

I also learned something. Trout Park was an amusement park 100 years ago. Situated along the river, it had a rail line that took it from downtown Elgin to the park. It closed in 1919.

We are having a great day here too! Not in the 70s, but still beautiful!
