Out and About: Wild About Wildflowers

Each Spring I spend a lot of time looking for and admiring the beautiful wildflowers we have in Round Lake and beyond. While out and about I get to hear and see lots of birds, maybe a cool rock formation, a lovely flowing stream, a peaceful pond. It's always a wonderful time in the woods enjoying nature. Here's what I've been treated to during May and the first week of June.
