On a recent road trip to Ashland, OR. my daughter and I visited Lithia Park, which is a beautiful 93 acre park in the city. In one part of it was a charming bridge, babbling brook and children’s playground. It was 107 degrees that day! The water near the bridge was shallow and perfect for wading, so off came our shoes and wading we went! Such fun and so refreshing!
It was at that point we noticed the name on the bridge was “Atkinson Memorial Bridge 1912”.
The bridge was built as a memorial to William Atkinson who was a prominent person in the founding of the town.
Surprise! Perhaps he is one of our ancestors! 🙂
At the end of the day on June 30th one additional second was added to our time.

I thought #5-#3 and #1 were pretty amazing!

Saw this beautiful rose bush growing along the sidewalk as I was on my way to the library. I was reminded of the quote “Take Time to Stop and Smell the Roses”. I did that and also took time to photograph them. Beautiful addition to my summer day. 🙂
