Our little friend came to visit us on Christmas Eve 2017. A gust of wind blew and the little one did its best to stay warm. So cute! :)

Our little friend came to visit us on Christmas Eve 2017. It seemed as if he was enjoying the snow falling as much as we were that morning.

It was a wonderful white Christmas on Christmas Eve 2017. We enjoyed the morning watching it snow before heading down to celebrate the holidays with our families.

An early Saturday morning we drove to Peoria to capture the Fall colors and the Illinois River. On our way back to Dana we drove by the Forrest Park Nature Center, and saw these rowdy twin turkeys. They gobbling away as they walked toward us. :) Captured in October, 2017.

Over the 2017 Labor Day weekend we had a nice fire, and I waited till the light was just right to start shooting. Such beauty in something that can destroy so much.

A lovely park in Streator, Illinois called Spring Lake Park, near our new home, has hiking trails and picnic areas available for public use. We will be going back for more exploration in the months ahead. :)

This little buddy was hanging out in our front yard in Dana, Illinois. I saw him from the front door. He kept sitting there, so I got my camera. He posed while I got many shots, this being the best one.

July 3, 2017 was the last full day this bat ever lived. It came to our new home to die in peace. We thought it was strange to find it there but left it alone. Glad we did.

A second May Flower bloom that I spotted on our Mid-May hike in a local state park. So beautiful!!

Along our fence grows a line of Snowball verbinums. They are quite lovely, however our increasingly wet springs are no good for where they are planted, and are slowly dying. We will enjoy the beauty while it lasts.

Soft yellow tulips are one of my favorites; so light and creamy I wish it were edible!

Walking up this boardwalk to the unknown was quite sereal. However, it was so peaceful too.
