Emily Park - Skokie, IL

Music by Five For Fighting - "100 years to live"
I took a stroll through Emily Park in Skokie. This was a very special place for me growing up. Every time I go back here I'm totally amazed at how much it's changed since I went to day camp here several years ago.
The lagoon used to be filled with snails and leaches. I remember when learning how to row a boat our camp counselors warned us not to fall in. Due to the number of leaches in the water.
I also couldn't help thinking about the secret path we would take from Oakton Bowl across the bridge of the railroad tracks to get to the park when I was in Jr. High. So many memories flood my mind each time I come here.
Today the wildlife is something I never expected to see in Skokie. Who would have ever think there would be geese living at Emily Park, let alone deer.

Red-breasted Mergansers at Gillson Park

Music by Simon and Garfunkel
I took a stroll in Gillson Park along the beach and came across a swarm of Red-Breasted Mergansers. I really wish I had a more powerful telephoto lense, yet I did pretty good with what I had.
