I used to live in Illinois, and I am returning tomorrow for a week. Here are a couple of images from two of Illinois' beautiful prairies.

This might not be the right season to shoot more blooms but these look really nice. I like the chaos of the webs and how they get built.

Two very beautiful images Doug. The first one is my favorite of the two.

Safe travels Doug. I am sure you will have blast exploring the prairies again.

Both photos are great, and now I know how the interconnected web got started!

Lovely flower shots, as always, Doug! I learned something about spider webs too!
