I had a two-day work trip to Milwaukee planned for the end of October. I knew I would have some down time and decided it would a great opportunity to get out and take some photos of the area. I did a little bit of research and came across Whitnall Park. Let me start with the park is huge and filled with beautiful things. Whether it was gorgeous stonework or huge trees, I was in love. I took my time and walked around, soaking in everything I could. I took a picture of everything I felt was beautiful. I know I could have spent hours walking around, but it was starting to get dark, and I still needed to find the waterfall. After a few wrong turns and asking some friendly people for directions, I finally found the waterfall. If I had blinked, I would have missed the path to the waterfall. The first thing I noticed was how peaceful the area was. I stood there for a minute, and all I could hear was the running water, and everything else was still. I carefully plotted my strategy to obtain the photos I desired of the waterfall. My goal was not to end up in the water….I was successful! On my way out, I stopped at a bench that was facing the lake and discovered something that touched my heart… Stop and rest right here – think of those you hold dear. That stopped me in my tracks. I sat down on the bench and thought of my wonderful family and friends and why I am thankful for each and every one of them. I hope I get the opportunity someday to go back to Whitnall Park.
