The Wisconsin River makes its presence fully known in our city - - - bisecting it north to south.
.
.
Its waters, sometimes placid and sometimes angry, separate this town in to an east side and a west side.
We live on the east side.
.
.
Now that spring has finally sprung the river is completely free of ice for the first time in many many months.
.
.
It is a magnet, drawing winter weary souls to its shores like bears emerging from hibernation.
.
.
It is this city's best feature.
.
.
Its shores are lined with parks and trees.
.
.
Ducks swim and fish in its waters.
Fisherhubbies do too.
.
.
It boasts shoreline walkways that are popular with walkers, bikers, and skaters.
.
.
Stately homes embellish its banks.
I often wish I lived in one of these.
.
.
Families flock to its parks.
It is the life blood of my city.

Love walking by the water. Enjoyed your walk too!
Such a pretty park, and river walk. It definitely looks like spring has arrived.
Lovely photos of a lovely place! Stopping by via Sundays In My City.
Gorgeous walk!
What a great walk!
Wow! what a beautiful place and how blessed you are to live nearby. All we have are bayous and dirty rivers. :o) But, they are lovely in a different way. Happy Lord's Day!
Beautiful! Have a great Sunday!
Was nice seeing the life blood of your city. Definitely is a place to would want to go,relax, and enjoy the day.
I am glad to know that the river is being used for many types of recreation. It looks like Spring is there, finally.
Sounds like it a hub of activity in the area. Does it get higher in the spring? I know our local rivers are extremely high right now and there are many large trees floating down the river at a high speed.
After dinner with some friends last night we walked over to the walkway by the river and it was wonderful to see the people out walking their dogs.
So beautiful! You make me want to move to Wisconsin!
Have a great week!
:-)

Wow how beautiful is that.. I could surely get used to living around something like that.. Your photos were beautiful..
What a great place to have nearby!
It looks like it's greened up overnight! I love a nice trail to walk on and how nice it would be to live close by! Enjoy your Sunday my friend!
It is absolutely beautiful!
How very soothing the photos are, Keetha! Gorgeous!
Couldn't you have lived on the other side of the river making this The West Side Story??? Feeling silly this afternoon....beautiful words and river! It's amazing how quickly you've gone from white to lush green!
Thank you for the lovely walk by the water and for visiting us at pret-a-vivre.com
I think I'll do the book then the movie too now :)
Such a good post! And the photos are wonderful. Just walking past those beautiful homes must be fun.
Oh, these are all so so pretty!
I love the water, time by (or on) the water is my favorite time.
Your city's lifeblood is gorgeous.
Take care, Keetha, and thanks for the well wishes.

So so pretty. I want to take a blanket and lay on it under one of those trees and watch the river manifest whatever emotion it's feeling at the time.
Very pretty and lovely pics.
This winter and spring has been weird and long.
Yesterday it was only +10 in Madrid, here in Málaga it was nice till 1 then it changed to cold and windy. In Finland it's been hot, nor fair! :)
But let's enjoy snowless life! :)
Water is a magnet. We were at the Mississippi River yesterday waving at Wisconsin.
Beautiful pictures Mom!!
You make it sound wonderful!
Hi Keetha,

Spring truly has sprung!
Come by and say hi soon!
Hugs,
Cindy
