Origins

1894 and 1921.

I can't help but wonder what is significant about these dates,
and why they were engraved on these stone structures.


Have they been there this long?
Was this the route of a train?


This is the foundation of a bridge that crosses the origin of the Little Wabash River.
Located just outside of Mattoon, I pass it on my way home.

This evening I had just driven through a hard downpour where the temperature at the northern edge of Mattoon was 81 degrees and 71 degrees by the time I got to the other side of Mattoon and the other side of the storm.


As I passed by the little bridge, I noticed how high the water was compared to most days,
and how blue the sky was when minutes before I could barely see to drive.

Spring in Illinois...

Nancy- I was in Springfield on Wednesday, starting out the day by seeing fishermen on a lake outside of Olney, IL and then field-after-field of rain soaked top soil on the drive. I especially enjoyed this picture for it reminds me of Illinois in the spring time, and renewal that we cherish.

    Still learning...

    This is a place for daily images that represent memories.

    I will try to "focus" on the best each day.
