Clouds filled much of the sky over Union County last Saturday morning. The image was captured during a stop along Aldridge Road, between metropolitan Cobden and Illinois Route 127.

Bright, early morning sunshine was cutting through fog along old U.S. Route 51 one morning last week.

A hawk soared across the street right in front of me while I was driving early last Friday afternoon. The hawk found a place to perch on a branch in a tree not far from the street.

Pileated woodpeckers are fascinating birds...well...they are to this photographer. After hearing the familiar sound of the big bird tapping on a tree, I spotted it in a tree near a walking path at one of my favorite places to visit in Union County.

Red leaves remained on a tree at the edge of a parking lot at the First Baptist Church in Cobden last Sunday afternoon. Recent windy days have been putting an end to such displays.
