september in the prairie
Posted: August 31, 2015 Filed under: Chicago, cycling, travel | Tags: cycling, Naperville, prairie, Springbrook Park 11 CommentsWhen I moved from Ohio, I missed the trees and hills. Yet, I’ve grown to find the prairie pure, abundant and ever changing. This section of Springbrook park was burned completely down last fall, once the lightning storms and the Indians renewed the prairie this way. In one spring and summer the prairie returns verdant and full of life.
renewed and full of life
As we cycle this path, every day its newness is a gift.

I don’t usually think of Chicago paired with prairies–sounds like an unexpected respite in an urban area.
Chicago has lovely green ways VB – it’s very cycling friendly, especially along the rivers
Ahh the prairies where you can watch your dog run away for days! 😉 Seriously though, all of nature is glorious, isn’t it Bill? ❤
Diana xo
Indeed Diana – although I admit I’m kinda scared of sharks 🙂
and… if your dog goes three feet into this grass, and you have no idea where they are.
Ahh prairie sharks. You can watch them swim away for days. 😉
you like swimming where you might be dinner ?
I’m from the prairies! I love this.
What an uplifting thought… that something burned can regrow, thank you 🙂
It’s interesting that the prairie is healthier from the burns. I suppose there’s a lesson for us there too – the cleansing and renewal can strengthen us.
