I work for The Lincoln Park Conservancy. I help take care of The Alfred Caldwell Lily Pool and North Pond. I took some pictures of some of the flowers around the pond. There is a wonderful prairie we call the "West Prairie" that is full of good natives. It almost takes care of itself. It is probably my favorite part of North Pond.

Chet, looking at your pictures is a wonderful vacation. I have always loved the coneflowers.

You've been tagged with a meme.
Great post. I love your photos as usual.
Couldn't you put your poems up so they can be read? When I click those poetry links, all I get are magazines I can't access.
