Shaws Nature Reserve Photos

Well I drove more than 10 miles from home which is a big deal for me, and explored just a small part of Shaws Nature Reserve in Gray Summit, MO USA. It is beautiful and serene. I was the only one walking around while I was there except for the presence of the Creative Intelligence that made it all. Such peace! I debated on whether to split the pictures up into different posts, but to get the full idea of what it was like there I decided to post them all in one go! Hope you enjoy them.

Headstone reads “Mary Isabelle” across the top. The visible dates read 1853-1884!
Ok so I lied. I forgot there was someone else walking around while I was there, lol.

I can’t wait to return and photograph the rest of the property. All images taken with a Sony a7 III and edited in Lightroom. Happy Saturday!

Elsah, Illinois

We stayed in this cute bed and breakfast in a village called Elsah in Illinois USA.  It was not a town but a village consisting of several homes, a small mercantile, a tiny museum, and a gift shop. No church, no bar, no town hall or police station!  I imagine there isn’t much crime with so few people living there. It is located just across the way from the Mississippi River so it has seen its share of floods.

Good Saturday to You

I quit my dog walking job so I should have more time this spring and summer to explore and take lots of pictures. Do you travel far from home to take pictures or do you stay close by?
