Fox River Walkway in McHenry Illinois

Here are some pictures I took I 2024 when I visited McHenry, Illinois for the weekend. I grew up in this area so it was fun to see all the new little crafts shops along the rive.

If you want a memento or keepsake from this area you can check out my Zazzle Shop called, "Through My Lens." I have a collection of products such as stickers, magnets, puzzles, postcards and greetings cards with these images.

About Me

Hi All! This blog is just a fun way for me to show off the things I accomplish in my life, the things I find beautiful and it gives me something to do.
