Busse Woods

Here are some pics of one of my new favorite places, Busse Woods. It is a forest preserve with 11 miles of bike/pedestrian trails. The trees are gorgeous--lots of oaks, elms, sugar maples and the like. I can't wait for fall--I'm looking forward to taking walks in the brisk fall air under a canopy of orange, red, and yellow. Maybe this is place won't be so bad after all....

A walk in the woods.

This is probably a weed, but I thought it looked pretty.

Oh yeah, there are elk.
