summer bucket list: find the beach under the Ford Bridge

1st Aug ' 16

A few weeks ago my friend Kathy and I embarked on a walk around my neighborhood. Several months earlier I’d noticed another local photographer’s posts about a beach under the Ford Bridge. I was so interested– it looks like a gorgeous place rich with photo opportunities. On our walk Kathy showed me how to find this beautiful park:

Looking left along the Mississippi River. Sadly the river isn’t clean enough to swim in, but this beach is a great area for recreation and of course photo shoots!

There’s just so much natural beauty down here: mature trees, green grass, rocks, sand, and of course flowers. After discovering this place I knew it would be a go-to for clients.
