A baseball game held at the Evansville Otters stadium. It was the same stadium where parts of "A League Of Their Own" was filmed.

Originally named Veterans Bridge when it was built in 1951, it was renamed the Martin Luther King Bridge for King in 1968 after the national civil rights leader was assassinated that year. It spans the Mississippi River between Illinois and Missouri, crossing into St. Louis at the Laclede's Landing area.

This is why my area of Southern Illinois is called "Little Egypt." There are several towns here that are named after real places in the Egypt, such as Cairo, Karnak, Thebes, Metropolis and Goshen, etc. There is also architectural nods in the building and decorations of places around the area - such as this doorway at the Marion, Illinois Veterans Hospital. The whole hospital is made to look like an ancient Egyptian structure on the inside.

I took this picture about a year ago and just realized that the image was supposedly created by the late frontman of the band Nirvana, Kurt Cobain.

This looks like a small building at first glance, but I think it was made out of solid concrete. I have no idea what it's function must have been. There are a lot of oil wells around it, so I assume it must have been something related to the oilfield industry.

I made some small 12 inch loaves of bread today and they hadn't been out of the oven a half hour before I made this sandwich for lunch. There's nothing like the smell of fresh-baked bread. Taken on March 7th, 2025, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

This is what I made for dinner tonight - Mostaccioli Leonardo. I suspect that Leonard is a brand of pasta and that I clipped the recipe off a box of their Mostaccioli noodles. Taken on February 14th, 2025, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

This is what I made for dinner on Wednesday evening - beef stroganoff. Those noodles are called pappardelle wide noodles and it was the first time I'd ever used some of them. They really worked well in this dish! Taken on February 12th, 2025, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

This is what I fixed for dinner last week - stir-fried noodles with marinated fish. It used the orecchiette pasta from the last picture. The fish was diced up into little pieces and don't show very well, but they're there. Taken on February 1st, 2025, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.

Orecchiette pasta is shaped like little bowls with ridges on the bottoms. This was the first time I'd ever seen them or used them. Taken on February 1st, 2025, with my Sony Alpha SLT-a77V DSLR.
