It appears as if a tree is growing through a roof in Gurnee last December but it is deceiving, visually, as the roofs of two homes aligned and the tree grows between them.

One day while in Wisconsin, we heard some very loud noises and saw a beautiful crane come swooping down quite close to us. Cranes are large birds - average height is 3.3 - 4.3 feet. Beware, as they can be aggressive and have been known to attack people. You can tell when they're coming as they have distinctive rolling cries.

Robert M. Sharp of GilbertsI traveled this road on a very misty morning near Lake Geneva, WI in January. I like the way the trees overhang the road and how the center-line disappears into the fog
Joanne Clevenger of HuntleyWhen I get weary of winter, I like to look back on my photos from last summer. This double rainbow picture was taken in early September while standing on my patio. What a beautiful sight to see and so very close to home.
John Weber of HuntleyI took this photo of my Wife looking into the Grand Canyon during our tripto Sedona and the Canyon.
