The past few Sundays I've decided to ride my bike to church, in part because it saves gas and is thus cheaper, but mostly because these past few weekends have been absolutely gorgeous. After
church today (which was very good --
joy comes through obedience...chew on that for a while...), I kept riding my bike further out to explore some more out that way, in and around Glen Ellyn. I brought an academic book with me that I had to read, so every now and then I would find a neat place and stop and read for a while. Mixing a love for exploring the outdoors and getting through academic work at the same time felt great!
My big discovery today was the
Willowbrook Wildlife Center, a place that provides rescue for animals that are normally wild and then puts them in habitat places on-site that are open to the public. The place is very nice and comes complete with a lovely butterfly garden, koi pond, and a pretty neat set of nature trails. Here is one of the workers who was showing off one of the hawks.
I think I'll definitely go back. A great place to find a tree-covered bench and read to your heart's content.
