The other day I drove through one of the local forest preserves and was lucky to find a few deer, a dove and a raccoon.

I went to the Art Festival at the Glenn with a friend, as were walking the sky started getting dark and the clouds started rolling in. You know me, I had to take pictures of what I saw.
