OK, I know it says right in my bio that I live in St. Louis. However, what it doesn’t say is that I grew up in rural Illinois, and the country is something very familiar to me. There is something calm and relaxing about it. If you see it as a whole lot of nothing, you are not looking closely enough.

- Gorgeous sunset on this farm near Jefferson city. Based on the path/road, this farm might find itself a little secluded during bad weather.

- This Lafayette County farm near Waterloo might be my favorite. It’s so beautiful it doesn’t even really look real.
