A Grayslake neighborhood hosted an early evening memorial service on July 2 to honor a young man who drowned in the lake on June 21. As the observance was ending, a little doe made her way down the village green toward the lake and looked out over the water in reflection.

This was taken during my fishing trip to Canada last month, across from our cabin is a small island where the Eagles come to eat. This was taken in the early evening right after we had sat down for dinner and this eagle decided it was time for his own meal too.

I took this photograph in my front yard in Lisle, IL. I love this photograph because it is the first year for this garden. I planted plants that would attract birds, hummingbirds and butterflies. I am thrilled that the hummingbirds found my flowers and feeders so quickly. My hard work paid off.

This picture was taken in our backyard. We like this picture because it is so difficult to get a good shot of an owl.

I call this photo Water on the Rocks - I took this at Rockaway Beach looking out at Twin Rocks while we were vacationing in Oregon. My husband and I were married here 29 years ago! Beautiful scenery!
