Finally getting back to blogging! For my first post here in a while, I guess I’ll go back to the well of “In the (Three Oh Nine)” photos. This one is from earlier this winter, from one of my post office-seeking photo trips. I found this scene just north of Raritan, IL.

A few more from my “In The Three Oh Nine” Series, this time, more from a bleak winter day as a snowstorm had just pushed out of the area, covering everything with a fresh coat of white.
