Sunday Drive to Bellevue

2008.03.02
Bellevue is a city in Jackson County, Iowa, United States. The population was 2,350 at the 2000 census.

Farmland on Hwy 52

Red barns along the roadside

An Eagle perched on the snowy ice

The town is located along the Mississippi River (Lock and Dam No. 12), next to Bellevue State Park

Potter's Mill, a restaurant and bed and breakfast that was formerly a flour mill built in 1845 is located in Bellevue. Potter's Mill is currently named on the National Register of Historic Places.

Purple roof top.

It was 71 degrees today, we decided to take a little drive and ended up in Bellevue.

lexlevans i'm with my mom: 71 degrees!!!!!!!!!!! and i thought the low 50's that i got here was good! :-) bet that was nice.

i love how these are the opposite of the city photos I posted today. nice to get the other end of the spectrum. 2,350 people! that's smaller than my high school was... :-)

bamommy Great shots, mom. When you first said Bellevue I thought of the mental hospital! LOL :) Now I see what you were speaking of. Anyway, love #2 and 3. The way you captured the road curving and the color of the barns make these two a master piece. Take care.
