Here is another entry for Becky’s Walking Squares Challenge. And it might also work for Jez’s Water, Water Everywhere Challenge and even Marsha Ingrao’s Photographing Public Art Challenge.
I’ve always enjoyed our visits to Rockford and I especially like walking in the area down by the Rock River, around Sinnissippi Park and the Nicholas Conservatory and Gardens.
On our latest visit to Rockford, we also visited Midway Village Museum. Although the buildings were closed for the winter, we were able to walk around outside. This was another first for us and we were sufficiently intrigued to warrant another trip here next year, so more pictures in a future post.
Lovely weathered buildings
It was nice to have the place to ourselves with no people walking about, getting in the picture. But I’m looking forward to going back to see what it’s like when the place is actually open.
That would be good
An interesting medley of pictures, Sue. 🙂
Thank you, Indira! Rockford was always a go-to place if we couldn’t afford a real vacation. There are so many things to see there. Even though it was only an hour’s drive from where we live, we would stay overnight just to take in the evening theater at the hotel and be there ready to explore first thing in the morning.
Great Variety
Thank you for stopping by, Diana!
What a gorgeous post. You have made a quilt of beautiful pictures for us. 🙂
Thank you, Marsha!
You are welcome! 🙂
Your photos make me want to see more! Love all the wood clad buildings!
It will be interesting to see Midway Village when it is fully functioning next year. Meanwhile, I have a few more pictures that I will post on my other blog, Getting The Picture, shortly.
I’ll look out for the extra photos…great!
ooh yes I am intrigued, and want you to go back too!!
Thanks for visiting, Becky. I look forward to returning to Midway maybe in the spring.
An interesting walk, Sue!
Thank you for visiting, Aletta.
