Wildflowers on the Skokie Lagoon



Illinois has unique colorful wild flowers that grow in plains and
 swamps, and since I guess the Skokie Lagoon is a wetlandish 
area there are wild flowers there. They're spaced out sort of like 
weeds where they grow in isolated patches. 


The pink flowers in the bottom photo required me to walk into a 
small field of tall grass to take the picture, and when I went back 
onto the trail I discovered about ten wood ticks on my pants. So I 
suppose because of the nice weather outside, bugs are now 
something I'll have to put up with.
