This photo is from a walk at Chippawa Run Natural Area with docents David Harris and Lou Ricord. My husband, Max, was conferring with Lou's daughter, Bonnie, about some plant species. The land is so beautiful and everyone in the group was so committed to maintaining the land and enjoying nature.

Each visit to South Manitou Island leaves me with a different impression. This year conditions and our timing (late July) were perfect for a colorful display of flowers along the roads and at this farm.

We came across this fabulous flower on our first visit to the Houdek Dunes Natural Area this past May.
