It was a difficult choice between rivers and lakes, but Ole' Man River won out! When I initially read the proposed February theme, the Mississippi River was the first image that came to my mind. After I thought about it for awhile, others quickly rose as possibilities: lakes, boats, kayaks and canoes, family and friends, art museums, parks, my neighborhood and library, health care, just to name a few, but it was no contest. Gotta be the Mississippi. For laughs I thought that I'd post winter snow scenes, but I knew a few of you would call me out!

Difficult to name only one thing...Had the same problem
ReplyDeleteIt was a tough one for sure Kate.. the Mississippi is legendary therefore very missible, excellent choice..
ReplyDeleteI had a similar problem, Kate. I'm sure if I lived there, I would choose the Mississippi too. In fact, two of my most favourite places are lakes...but neither are actually in East Gwillimbury, although they are VERY close. :)
ReplyDeleteAh, yes. Old Man River is something I miss from my home town in Illinois, right on the Mississippi.
ReplyDeleteyeah, that's a great view.
ReplyDeleteI can see why the Mighty Mississippi won out.
ReplyDeleteLove your choice for the theme day. Well done!
ReplyDeleteI like the Fall shot.
ReplyDeleteThe river is very beautiful up in your area so I understand.
ReplyDeletePerfect choice for the day!
ReplyDeleteNice pictures of your preferred place, Kate !

ReplyDeleteThe mighty Mississippi! Nothing like it. Great choice and gorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard to pare it down to just one thing, isn't it? You made a beautiful choice!
ReplyDeleteM i doubleS i doubleS i PP i. Old Man River.
ReplyDeleteIt would be hard to find another river quite like the Mississippi!
ReplyDeleteIt's a magnificent river. It's been years since I've seen it with my own eyes.
ReplyDeleteWe actually have a Mississippi River not that far from here.
I don't think I've ever seen the Mississippi except from the air.
ReplyDeleteYou have featured the Mississippi here quite often. It's easy to understand why you'd miss it!
ReplyDeletebeautiful views ! :)
ReplyDeleteCan imagine you want to keep looking at the Mississippi river.
ReplyDeleteI am so glad to see a lot of water in today's posts: this place is wonderful!
ReplyDeleteThe trees really grow far down on the banks. That autumn shot is fabulous!
