Kickapoo Creek ParkI went to Kickapoo Creek Park, in Lincoln Il, this morning. Unless there is unusual weather, summer is my least favorite season for nature photography. I generally try to go early in the morning so at least I can find interesting light. I had never been to Kickapoo Creek Park before so I thought I'd explore it a bit and see if its worth a visit during a better time of year. The park is very easy to find has plenty of parking spaces, at least at 6:30 in the morning. I drove down from Bloomington along old route 66 so I'd be able to take a few sunrise pictures on the way. This photo was taken along the way:
This picture was taken less than a mile away from the park:
I decided to hike with just one camera body (1DX2, and two lenses a 70-200 F2.8 IS, V2, and a 14mm V2.). One thing I really like about the 14mm is its small size. I also took two extenders but I didn't end using them. The park has several trails and I started with the river trail that leads to a suspension bridge.
After the river trail I hiked through a wood area and did see one white tail deer running across a path in front of me. I was switching lens so I didn't get much of a picture. There were some interesting trees and a few bending paths. Speaking of paths, this path was not as well travels and I was hiking through tall grass much of the way.
