In the wild suburbia

I had the afternoon off and after waking up from a much needed nap I scooped my camera up and departed into the wild preserves of Hinsdale, IL. This is Graue Mill. An elementary school field trip destination that like dozen of others, I took for granted.

There was a sign posted on either side of the wheel that read Stay off Wheel. I wonder how many attempts to ride the wheel were made before signs were posted.
The tree jumped in front of the line.

Happy strangers. I hope that picture sits on their mantle for years to come. Her work.
His work.

Smell me...that's right...closer...closer...
