2009 Peoria, IL Riverfront - CelebratingGodsDesign's Photos

The Peoria Riverfront Walk is always enjoyable, but especially in the early morning when the sun is low in the sky and the air still cool. This particular morning was no exception! Meandering along with lots of time and cool, fresh air (about 60 degrees) was so relaxing and refreshing! And...I continue to marvel at the ever expanding number of things to discover, explore, and enjoy in God's beautiful garden!

CelebratingGodsDesign > This is the Murray-Baker Bridge in Peoria, Illinois with Horseweed and Ragweed (left) in the foreground. The Murray Baker Bridge is a landmark cantilever bridge that carries Interstate 74 over the Illinois River at the lower end of Peoria Lake.

The bridge is named for Murray M. Baker, who was the first vice president of the company that eventually became Caterpillar.

CelebratingGodsDesign > The Riverplex has plenty of Pink roses on the river side of their building. These were wonderfully displaying the morning dew.

CelebratingGodsDesign > Here's one of several shots of the Riverfront trail used for walking, biking, rollerblading, etc. There are usually several people out enjoying the trail even in the early morning.

This is the southernmost beginning of the Pimiteoui Trail which goes from downtown Peoria to Pioneer Parkway on the north side of the city.

CelebratingGodsDesign > This is some Indian Hemp (or Dogbane) found along the way.

CelebratingGodsDesign > This Pink Hibiscus had a Bumble Bee hiding in its center. I couldn't tell if it was stuck, dying, or sleeping.

CelebratingGodsDesign > I believe this is Gaura Plant that has gone to seed.

CelebratingGodsDesign > Here's a couple out in their pleasure craft getting an early morning start on a beautiful day! Later in the day the river would be teeming with a variety of watercraft activity.

CelebratingGodsDesign > Smartweed (pale or white)
