Ice on the Big Sioux River

Generally by this time of year the Big Sioux River is frozen solid, but with our mild winter there are only patches of ice.

My daughter couldn't resist tossing a rock onto the ice. As the rock slid across the ice and landed in the rivers current with a splash I thought, 'oh cool I want a shot of that'. So at my request she tossed a few more rocks. This is what I managed to get.

Sunday in My City: Norlin Greenway Park

With our mild winter getting out and enjoying the parks hasn't been as difficult as it generally is. For those that enjoy peaceful walks or bike rides the Yankton trail through Norlin Greenway Park is a great spot to go.

The walk is rather easy without the normal foot or more of winter snow on the ground. 

The park sits along the Big Sioux River just off of 26th Street in central Sioux Falls. It always amazes me how serene it feels to wander the trails in our many parks and feel as if you are miles from the hectic hustle of the city.

Although there is no snow on the ground much of the river at this point is covered in ice.

While most of the park benches have been stored for the winter months there are still a few spots to sit and rest while you enjoy the beauty.

Lights on the Water

Night time at the Falls is a magical time.

 The lights above the Queen Bee Mill are those of an airplane on it's approach to the Sioux Falls Airport.

Sunday In My City: Autumn

The bike trails along the Big Sioux River are a great place to take advantage of a warm Autumn day.

My daughter found a heart

 We were not the only ones that thought it was a perfect day to enjoy the outdoors.

Even the wildlife were enjoying the lovely weather.
