#125 6 May 2011 -- Forrest Pleasures

Given the huge urban mass we call Chicagoland, it is surprising how many lovely large and complex forest preserves abound. These photos were taken at the 2700 acre Lake County Forest Preserve near Wauconda, IL. Shortly after beginning the hike I captured the first shot. The photo was taken through a barricade of tall grass, shrubs and tree limbs. But I think the effort was worth it.  Until I reviewed the photo I did not realize that there were two deer.

HDR photo of a lovely wetland area in which there were ducks, geese, herons, and other birds we couldn't identify. I chose to use this photo that had no wildlife because of it's serene quality.
