outside carlton, ga off of a dirt road, there is this abandoned rock quarry. i love the colors and shapes of the stone reflecting in the water..

I recently had the privilege of staying in this amazing treehouse with some friends outside of chattanooga, tn. there was a lot of wine, food, and nature time.

Recently I visited rural Illinois to see family and happened upon the lake shelbyville nature center. they had all these amazing bird specimens lying on the window sills, as well as lots of other educational taxidermy.

on my recent trip to central illinois, we stumbled upon this old civic center in the middle of a park. it was obviously old, but it still seemed to be of some function to the town. the massive structure is known for its architecture, in that there are no post supports holding up the octagonal dome. i wish i could have gotten inside!

i recently took a trip to central illinois for a family reunion. one of the best parts of the trip was driving around these farm roads, paved with gooey tar, to see where my grandparents and great-grandparents lived. most of their homes are not standing anymore, but this barn remained next to the site of my great-grandmothers old home. my mother and grandmother with me, and it was so interesting to hear their stories and memories from this old barn. whoever owns it now will probably let it sit here to rot and disappear into the corn fields like so many other old structures in rural illinois.
