A waterfall at Waterfall glen. Recent rain and snow made for some good photo opportunities along the trail, especially of the waterfall itself. 👍🏻🙂 There were few people on the trail and most were very friendly. Had a nice chat with a cross country skier. One even snapped some pictures of me at the falls. Elsewhere I had to rely on the good ole selfie stick this time. 😬 Fortunately, I was able to get a person in this shot to give a sense of proportion. 🙂 Usually, this spot is crowded, but weather kept a lot of folks at home. It was a beautiful day for a hike! #waterfalls #hike #hikewithme #funhikes #dayhikes #dupagecountyforestpreserves #waterfallglen #enjoyillinois #forestpreserves #hikeillinois #outdoorillinois #outdoormore #illinois #midwestpreserves #neverstopexploring #portraitsofatraveler #hikingfun #naturephotography https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Qxqytlhax/?igshid=1mnlrk666aatt

I was lucky to be invited to see this tiny ruby-throated hummingbird nest by @jacquesnuzzo. He reports that a hummingbird - possibly this one - nested in the same tree last year. #outdoorillinois #hummingbirdnest #rubythroatedhummingbird https://ift.tt/2ZcGMK7
