I've been living in this great land of Naperville for 20 years now. When we moved here it was a nice sized town with farmland surrounding the town. But now our town of Naperville runs right into all the surrounding towns with no empty space in between. We have a riverwalk that actually came about when the townsfolk visited San Antonio's riverwalk and thought somehow they could take our river, clean it up and make it a great place to visit. In the years we have lived here we have seen this riverwalk expand and become the jewel of Naperville. Spring is my favorite time to visit the riverwalk as the park district plants so many spring bulbs of varying colors and types. And of course all the kids love to come and see all the new baby ducks and geese.
When you get out to enjoy your Spring surroundings make your personal Spring accessories a part of the fun. Some Spring color names this year are Spring Crocus, Cantalope and Daiquiri Green, the later being my favorite!
I like your pictures :) Do you live there? It looks REALLY beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI was so pleased to find your blog on LR and to read your post on Naperville.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was 20 I moved to Naperville from Cali and I feel in love with it. I never thought any place in the world could feel more home to me then my hometown, but Naperville succeeded. Even through the terribly cold winters I loved the place.
I left Naperville for England in Dec. 07, and I think about it all the time. I love England very much, mostly because my fiance and sister are here, but to me there is no place like Naperville.
Loved the pics of the Riverwalk. I spent many a days strolling there.
