The second in my series of Walks & Talks http://www.jsiegeldesigns.com/class_lect_current.html
took place on 6/25/10, luckily one of the few days minus high heat, humidity & thunderstorms. (Of course, everything now has been bone dry for the past week...) Except for my very generous helper, Amy Moses, the group was completely different than the Humboldt Park walkers. One of the perks is to get such differing perspectives...at Lily Pool, Janine Fron was especially helpful in providing historic resources and Rebekah Steers shot some of the photos you see here.
A number of participants told me that the place worked it's magic on them such that they were entranced and more interested in interacting with the space than the people: Bravo!
As usual: despite the location being right behind the crowded Lincoln Park Zoo and Fullerton Beach and Peggy Notebaert Nature Museum, once inside we were transported from urban chaos to engrossing & tranquil, geological and horticultural and wildlife embrace.
