On Saturday Jon and I headed up to Starved Rock State Park along the Illinois River about an hour north of Bloomington. I was amazed by the rock formations and scenic canyons, which were much more attractive to look at than the muddy, littered banks of the river.
All photos by me, except for the last one, which Jon took.
I spent Thursday afternoon on the beach near Michigan City, Indiana, listening to the mellow, sunny psychedelic folk of Linda Perhacs. Occassionally I’d catch a glimpse of an east-bound airplane departing Chicago. But mostly, the view was this …
… which was perfect for listening to Perhacs sing of parallelograms and dolphins. I had the beach almost entirely to myself, and I have the photos to prove it.
Mt. Baldy, which at 123 feet tall is the largest dune on Lake Michigan, kept me company.
