Walkabout: Crabtree Nature Center

Walkabout: Crabtree Nature Center!  Occasionally, folks ask me: where are your walkabouts?  Actually, most of the time I start from my front door and walk one of several routes close to home.  Sometimes, I’ll make a special trip to a park, forest preserve, or hiking path.  This image comes from one such place; Crabtree Nature Center near Barrington, IL.  Its hiking paths wind along restored great plains prairie grasses, forest, and lakes.  The nice afternoon light made a tranquil setting for the Canada Geese.
