After we shared our Thanksgiving meal with Ed’s family in Fairfield, I split off from the McCracken/Bonnet family farms tour and walked the Fairfield Loop Trail.
It’s a 15.9 mile loop, known as Fairfield’s “emerald necklace.” I walked a mere stretch of it on my ramble.
If you read my Skunk River photo essay, you’ll remember Avy and I stumbled upon a dilapidated bridge on the Skunk River Trail. Today I discovered another bridge, which I made a photo study of, along with pictures of milkweeds.
I didn’t know at the time that I was snapping photos of milkweeds. I found them interesting, and when I got back to the house, I had to ask Ed’s brother, Charles, what they were. I must be the only person in the world who didn’t know that milkweeds attract monarch butterflies.
Milkweeds are also fascinating to photograph.
Anyway, enjoy my photo essay of my Thanksgiving 2017 walk.
