Out for lunch on a chilly fall day, my mom and I decided to drive the long way back home and drove by this local park and covered bridge.
I think fall is the perfect time to visit historic places, something about the color of the leaves and general feel of the season that draws you a bit closer to history. Even though the day was cloudy and drizzly, I managed to snap a few photos of our fall at its peak.
Here are some wild aster flowers alongside the bridge... I love the beautiful blue color of its petals. It's not a color you see often in plants, especially in the "wild."
Here's the bridge entrance on foot. Wood never looked so good against all the golds and reds of the trees.
The bridge was built in 1868 with some repairs through the years...
You know I had to sneak in another flower picture somewhere.... :)
This cantilevered walkway was added in 1992 during a large renovation on the bridge itself. It beckons its visitors to come and take a walk...and I couldn't refuse the invite!
There's a park and picnic area along the shore to the left in this photo. The bridge always attracts plenty of fisherman in the summer as well.
It's pretty amazing to be driving across a wooden structure...you really need to roll down the windows a bit to capture the sound of the boards creaking as you go across.
Coming out the other side; a burst of sunlight and beautiful fall foliage.
The whole drive around the bridge was full of lots of beautiful trees...ahhh; this is why we love autumn!
Where's your favorite place to visit in the fall?
Blessings!
