Which way should I go? That seems to be the question this picture is asking, don't you think?I saw this the other day when I was out at the lowering of Garfield Farm's 1842 barn in La Fox and I thought that it is interesting. I am guessing that it is some sort of footprint from a bird. If you know what footprint this belongs to, I would love to know.

A high school varsity swimmer sprints to begin his 50-yard freestyle event during the Downers Grove North Boys Invitational Swimming and Diving Meet. I like the foreground reflection of his supportive teammates. The glass-like portion of the water which shows other swimmers' reflections is caused by this event being started following a 10 minute break where all swimmers were not allowed to enter the pool. This photo was originally published in the Perspective column in the print edtion of the Daily Herald.
