Documenting our Landscape

I have a relationship with wildflowers. I developed this relationship recently mainly due to the fact that I live quite close to a forest preserve/prairie in Northeastern Kane County. In this preserve both Northern Illinois forest land and Illinois tallgrass prairie is preserved. Walking through this preserve in the summer is to experience an extraordinary display of color along with the accompanying perfumes of the blooming wildflowers. Taken together a walk through these woods is to return to a time when, unlike the crazed pace of urban life, one can literally stop and smell the roses.
