Bridge and Allee

The rustic finish on the footbridge in the last post is quite different from the white-and-Kremlin Yellow panel bridge seen here, leading to a small tranquil pond. The wooden boxes seen in the pond are nesting boxes and a pair of ducks were standing atop one. A bit further on we came to the pair of corral fences bracketing an "allee" leading to some of the farm buildings. The powerful shadows on the trees would be quite different a week later, as trees all across DuPage County have seen their leaves spring open, making birdwatching tougher but treewatching more fun.

More on the French-inspired allees in the next post, which will be the 100th post for RickBeatoPhoto.
