Spring

Sunday drive to Havana, IL and then to Emiquon. Emiquon is a Nature Conservancy wetland restoration project. Not for Profit, they have turned an old farm back to wetland. Because the Illinois River and Spoon River were rising they added four feet of water to wetland area. Within forty-eight hours over 100,000 snow geese (top image) gathered. My telephoto is too weak to get a good shot but maybe the image included gives some perspective. I wish sound could be added. Probably a dozen others were there watching a display that only God put together.

Middle image is of the old Havana watertower. We spent some time walking the river front. This little town is doing an amazing job of building up their park along the river. Beautiful day spent with my wife.
