Amazing Pictures at The Chicago Botanic Gardens

Music by Taylor Swift - "Mean"There's times we all have days

What started off as a very sad day filled with losses, ended up being an amazing day photographically.  

Instead of retreating I went out with my camera to see if I could use my camera lens to refocus on the beauty the world has to offer.  I ended up having one of the best photographic days in a very long time.

I started off stopping by Tower Beach in Winnetka and ended up at the Chicago Botanic Gardens in Northbrook, IL.  Hope you enjoy the show.

Wandering Around Wadsworth Prairie Nature Preserve

Music by Pat Benatar - "Don't let it show"

I remember when this area was all farmland. I've been told that over twenty years ago Lake County purchased the land and created this grassland prairie preserve. I've driven past in many times and finally had the opportunity to go exploring.

Went for a short stroll around what was once the Glenview Naval Air Air base. Since it closed they developed a nature trail.
