Travel Theme: Distance

Ailsa’s of Where’s My Backpack challenge for the week is Distance.

Am spending the holiday weekend here in the suburbs of St. Louis.  My cousin have set up two hummingbird feeders by her porch.  I watch them all the time feed themselves with syrup.  So far I haven’t seen any male hummingbirds which are much colorful and if you get close to them they just fly away.

So I grabbed a garden chair and waited for the right moment and from a distance observed them.

Yesterday, my cousin and I drove around in Chester, Illinois to see this historical covered bridge which is one of the few left in the state.
