the High Trestle Bridge

Today my son and I ventured over to the High Trestle Bridge - one of the Seven Wonders of Iowa! We had a picture-perfect day to tromp the bridge.  It was nice just hanging with Ev to share such a magnificent gesture on the landscape.

e.e. cummings

I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Indeed, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
