After spending the majority of our time outdoors at a beloved nearby park for the last couple years, unfortunate circumstances necessitated exploration of different territories for outdoor enjoyment. The ever-helpful Google assisted us in locating a nearby nature preserve that looked to have some promise, so off we went. Upon arrival, the bridge pictured above was the first landmark encountered on our way in to the nature preserve, so this picture made the most sense to me for the “On the Way” theme of this week’s Weekly Photo Challenge on The Daily Post. Enchanted is definitely a word I would use to describe the few experiences there; such beautiful, thriving diversity! I saw and heard many plants, birds, and insects I easily recognized and others I had never before encountered, the wonderment of watching dandelion seeds float through the shafts of sunlight around me and taking it all in almost overwhelming. It is amazing how something so wonderful can be so close by yet remain unknown!

A Vital Recognition 
That’s a beautiful choice for this week’s challenge! I love bridges, they carry so much symbolic connotations…
Thank you so much 🙂 And I completely agree, bridges hold a lot of meaning.
Beautifully captured.
Thank you! 😀

Beautiful! What part of Michigan did you take that in?
My family has had vacation homes in the UP for years – over 70 years at least. It’s beautiful up there, but hard living.

I took this photo at the entrance of a nature preserve in Caledonia, MI.
Personally I have only ever been through the UP to go up to Canada once, so I’ve never had the pleasure of paying a real visit.
