Wordless Wednesday – Local View

localAs 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.

    Love the bridge! I lived in Normal, Illinois for awhile…I never did get used to all the corn fields. I’m a mountain girl and they just weren’t the same. Lol!

    What a good ideal! I like the idea of showcasing your local area. Your photos remind me of visiting my grandparents and uncles/aunts in Western PA growing up. Lots of corn fields on farms and covered bridges.

    Love the bridge. I never appreciate where I live (whether it’s DC, NYC, Germany or the beach in FL) until I have a guest who reminds me how cool it is. I think it’s awesome you’re taking a fresh look at things around you.
