Taken in the Cook County Forest Preserve. A spider crawls across the forest floor, captured for a moment in a shaft of sunlight. It's hard to focus on such tiny creatures in near darkness. I think this one is pretty moody. I hope you can see the spider well enough. Let me know if you can't. That'd be a shame.

This was taken on Mother's Day in Plainfield, Illinois at my mom's house. This is the field behind her backyard. Behind the trees lies a river that her two dogs, Cooper and Indy, love to swim in and get really muddy. There's a lot hidden in those trees. Hawks, owl, deer, poison ivy, dogs, fire pits and long ago days hiding in the trees when we weren't so old. I even spotted a giant eagle in the sky that day. An angry (and much smaller) hawk was chasing it through the open skies. Beautiful.
