It’s no secret that one of my favorite places here in Midland is the Chippewa Nature Center. It is the beauties of nature at its finest, particularly at golden hour. My husband and I love to make Sundays family days, so oftentimes in the afternoon or evenings when the weather is nice, we’ll go for a walk together. Sometimes it’s just around our neighborhood, but more often than not it’s down by the Tridge or at the CNC. We haven’t made it out there much this year so far, so yesterday evening we proposed to take a walk there together. It has been SUCH a hot weekend, but it didn’t seem so bad when we were there in the shade of all those trees. In fact, the weather even seemed pleasant.
One of the reasons why we love going there is because the kids LOVE exploring all the trails, picking all the flowers, and throwing rocks in all the ponds of water. And I love taking pictures of them doing so. 😉 I also adore taking pictures in that gorgeous light at the end of a summer’s evening during golden hour. The way the light is softly filtered at the end of the day seriously makes me swoon.
We started on our normal path, but we accidentally took a wrong turn halfway through, so we ended up walking about twice as long as we intended. We had some tired kiddos by the end of the walk! Haha, a little exercise doesn’t hurt anybody, right? Besides, they had walked so far that evening, that by the time we got home they were good and tired and ready for bed. I’m certainly not going to complain about that. 😉
