The mallards seemed to be enjoying the extra water at the forest preserve π¦

My fellow #Americans, is YOUR local #ForestPreserve safe from the scourge of crime & violence?
Without any real problems to deal with on a regular basis, maybe some ambitious park rangers take this mandate for public service a bit too far? π³ππ³

We went back to the same forest preserve yesterday. We walked on the west side and it is heavily wooded. The east side was all prairie.

Spring rains have flooded a trail near Maple Lake in Willow Springs, Illinois. The forest is beginning to awaken from its winter slumber.

Warm evening.. #sunset #chicago #forestpreserve #photography
Well-timed snow hike today!
And mother nature proving again that with 80Β°F Friday, 68Β°F yesterday, and 2"-3" of snow today, winter isn't finished with us yet here in northern Illinois.
Love this stuff.

Admiring the view. Plenty of deer spoor, nothing with feathers spotted today.
Lucky to live in the middle of one of the largest areas of forest preserve in the country.

Landscape...shoreline of a creek is at the top of the shot and the rest shows the reflection of criss-crossing dark trees trunks with various shades of orange squiggled in the blue creek water. Which is also reflecting the sky.
Reflections in the creek this am.

To anyone in #KaneCounty #IL :
A referendum will be on the Nov 5 ballot for land acquisition and forest preserve improvement.
Please vote YES.
It will cost $35 a year in taxes now, but will reduce your taxes by 2027.
