Illinois: 9-6-14

Vanishing point as we were leaving
Joliet, IL.

A beauty of a home along the Mississippi River
along western Illinois.

Two swans in the Mississippi back water.
Catch the one on the left with the
webbed foot in the air!  There acres
and acres of swamp lilies.

A close up of the swamp lilies.

Bill with his beloved Mississippi River behind him.
There was also a dam and lock.

In Le Claire, IA, looking back into IL.
We had a superb German dinner at 
a place called The Bierstube.

On an island in the middle of the Mississippi
River, is a green navigational sign. It tells the
ships and barges to go left or right to
keep them in deep water.
