While taking a leisurely walk along trails at Fullersburg Woods in Oak Brook, I noticed an interesting composition of a pair of Canada geese along the banks of Salt Creek.

The photo has a relaxing, pictorial feel, which is enhanced by a recent snowstorm. This photo was published in the Perspective column in the print edtion.
