Hiking along the Mississippi River today, it was really hard to take a picture without capturing the garbage that is washed up along the shore.  I couldn't help but have disdain for the boaters flying by in their expensive gas guzzling boats.  Are they the ones throwing the plastic bottles, chip bags, and soda cans into the river?  It's coming from somewhere.   The eyes on this butterfly kinda freak me out.

It really was beautiful along the river though, despite the garage.  The Fall weather, tilt of the sun...love this time of year!

The only thing good about those fancy, speeding boats going by is the waves they create on the shore.  The best part is the sound the water makes as it hits the shore.
