Happy President's Day!

Happy President's Day everyone. Since I have the day off the wife and I drove up to Alton to visit a store, only to find it closed! Not sure if it was because of the freezing rain we had this morning or that they were just closed for the holiday. Regardless leaving empty handed we drove across the Clark Bridge to visit the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary. Not much open water but we did see a few Trumpeter Swans and other water fowl. On the way back to Illinois I pulled off to the side to get a shot of the Clark Bridge in the fog.

Now what? Trumpeter Swans at the Riverlands Migratory Bird Sanctuary.

Woke up to a foggy morning on Saturday and I decided to go out to see what photo ops there were. As I was driving along old Lebanon road I saw this trail into the trees. The fog gave it an ethereal quality that really worked in black and white.
