Here’s an entry for Jez’s Water, Water Everywhere Photo Challenge. More than 3 miles of walking trails wind around and by three bodies of water, Bullrush Pond, Sulky Pond and Crabtree Lake, at Crabtree Nature Center, part of the Cook County Forest Preserve system in Barrington Hills, Illinois.

The camera gave me an incredible freedom. It gave me the ability to parade through the world and look at people and things very, very closely. Carrie Mae Weems

The Nature of Things 
Great photos, lovely colours, Sue. It looks a great place to walk. Enjoy your weekend 🌹🙋♂️
Thank you, Ashley! You too.
Love the names of the ponds and lake and it looks a fine place to going walking. The photos are great and all very atmospheric- a story/poem could be written about each photo!
I believe Sulky Pond got its name from the race track that used to run around it in the old days.
Thank you! Of course I should have known …a sulky is a two wheeled cart pulled by a horse..they have these races at a town not too far away …Tregaron Horse races! Interesting that the word is used where you are too…might be a link somewhere!
Beautiful lake through your lens, Sue!
Thank you, Amy!
You met the photo challenge very well.
Thanks, Tom! It’s a subject that seems to crop up fairly frequently in the photo files.
The area looks so natural & unspoilt; what a great place 👏 Love the name, Sulky Pond 😃 Thanks for joining in 😊
Many thanks for the challenge, Jez.
The place look so pristine, Sue…lovely pictures!
Thank you, Indira! I hadn’t been there for about a year and was surprised at how quickly the landscape had changed. Many years ago there used to be a sulky horse racing track around one of the ponds and it’s interesting to see how nature has completely taken over this whole area.
A photographic post of water. Thank you 🙏🌍
Thank you for visiting!
You are welcome 🌍🙏
