Catching Color, Catching Views

Over the weekend one of my grandsons and I went exploring on what we referred to as a “vacation.” Even though we slept in a tent in the living room at home, we were still out and about in Northeast Iowa during the non-sleep hours.

Yesterday I shared images and a video from our trips across the Lansing bridge that is now closed. Today I will post images from other activities. We saw many pretty scenes!

Details are in the captions.
