Near the entrance to the Grove is a short boardwalk that leads through a field,
half wildflowers and half dried prairie grass. The prairie grass is pretty unique,
and even though it's emblematic of Illinois I've only seen it in small patches at
nature preserves.
A nature photography trick usually creates pretty interesting results is shooting
into dense tall grass with a large aperture. The shallow depth of field singles out a
few stalks and warps perspective to evoke a feeling of isolation. Grass in general is
an extremely boring subject, but in small quantities it can manipulated artistically.
