Walkabout: Crabtree Nature Center! Occasionally, folks ask me: where are your walkabouts? Actually, most of the time I start from my front door and walk one of several routes close to home. Sometimes, I’ll make a special trip to a park, forest preserve, or hiking path. This image comes from one such place; Crabtree Nature Center near Barrington, IL. Its hiking paths wind along restored great plains prairie grasses, forest, and lakes. The nice afternoon light made a tranquil setting for the Canada Geese.
