As part of the new series I’m doing, Let’s Get Local, I’m focusing on capturing my life in the midwest state of Illinois, specifically Chatham and the surrounding areas. Today on Let’s Get Local, you get a peek at the view I get every day. At one time I lost appreciation of the beauty and serenity of living surrounded by cornfields and cows. It took 3 years living in the concrete jungle of St. Louis to truly appreciate my hometown.
Without further adew…a local view of Chatham and surrounding structures.





















Beautiful pics! I like the 2nd & 4th especially!
It looks like a beautiful area! And it reminds me a lot of where I live-lots of cornfields and woods.
Those are great pictures Cat! I should seriously join you on this one, we have some great areas that are basically in my back yard !
Looks familiar! : )
Beautiful pics Cat! I like the 1st and 4th one the best.
Great Pictures!
Really? You live there?? I LOVE it! That bridge is amazing. I thought I was rural, but you win.
Much better scenery than my town.

Cat,
It is such a wonderful experience to live in such beauty. Before we moved, a few months ago, we were surrounded by strawberry and wheat fields and wouldn’t be surprised to see a peacock or coyote stroll across our yard. We now live in a small country town and are making plans to move back to the country (real rural) in our new home state. It’s definitely a great place to raise children.
You took some great shots. I’m lovin’ the cornfield and covered bridge.
We just visited the concrete jungle of St. Louis this past weekend and had a fun time pounding the pavement.
Great pics! I love the covered bridge! Happy WW!
