had a great idea. A photographic meme about where we live. I thought it sounded like fun, so on our travels throughout the area this weekend, we took a few shots of the more 'scenic' sites. Since Ziggy and I are both water babies...uh, maybe I should say "river rats"...most are of our beloved Illinois River. Not quite as spectacular as the Gulf of Mexico, but it's the next best thing. Ok. Maybe third best. Anywho, it's home.

The leaves are just starting to turn a bit. The best color will probably be in a week or two. I'll try to get a few then, too.


A shot of the Illinois from up north just a bit...S. Rome, to be exact.


The river from the McCluggage Bridge.


What would a Sunday afternoon ride be without a stop at the Burger Barge for a burger and some of Luciano's Cheese Blobs? This is a shot of the little marina behind the BB.
