I promised you pictures, and I'm delivering you pictures!
Yesterday I posted one of the (several hundred) shots I took while I was wandering around the west side of Marquette this past Saturday. Without realizing it I've developed this tradition of taking pictures of a different Marquette neighborhood on what might be the last nice day of the year. I don't know how it started—I suppose just a way for me to be outside when it was hot—but looking back I nice I've been doing it for five or six years now. This time I chose the neighborhood around the old Nester school; basically, Bluff & Washington Streets between 7th and Lincoln. It's a part of Marquette that has changed dramatically over the past 20 years, and thought it would be a good place to stroll around this year.
And boy, was I right. So what did I see?
I saw new buildings
And old buildings.
I saw a bike path
And a park wall
I saw, no surprise, a lot of flowers
And something I WAS surprised to see
I saw interesting patterns--
Something you might expect to see in Marquette--
And something you never thought you'd see in Marquette
So if, indeed, this past Saturday was the last nice day of the year, at least I was able to get out and enjoy it. And, apparently, also carry on a long-standing tradition of mine that I didn't even know I had.
