This wise old monarch has been a steadfast presence in our yard for days. I think he's resigned to the fact that he won't be making the journey to Mexico. He has done his duty beautifully, making way for the next generation. It will be an honor to spend his final days with him in the yard. #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #Illinois #nature #photography #SaveTheMonarch #photographylovers #wildlifephotography

Red Door with Water Spigot and Extension Cord
Quincy, Illinois, USA

#Photography #StreetPhotography #streetscapephotography #quincy #illinois #door #spigot

The lower left quadrant of a weathered red exterior door with a large glass insert. Below the glass is a mail slot with an orange extension cord coming out of and running down past a brick sitting on the step before running out of the bottom of the image. Just to the left of the mail slot is a water spigot that is installed in the door. Weird.

One Midwest state is making ‘rewilding’ an official conservation strategy

A new law in Illinois formalizes efforts to reintroduce native keystone species like bison and beavers in the state, which advocates say will help other species recover.

Next year, “rewilding” will officially be a part of the conservation approach in #Illinois.

A bison grazes in front of an Illinois Nature Preserves Commission sign. Restoring keystone species like this one is a major goal of rewilding.

This gorgeous beauty was laying eggs on our milkweed today! It's getting kind of late. It will almost be October before these eggs become butterflies. #butterfly #Lepidoptera #nativeplants #Illinois #nature #photography #SaveTheMonarch #photographylovers #wildlifephotography

The Back Door
Pittsfield, Illinois, USA

I'm not sure what the black stuff on the door is. It looks pretty nasty.

#Photography #StreetPhotography #streetscapephotography #pittsfield #illinois #door

The back of a one story concrete lock building painted an off-white, almost tan, color. There is one door in the center with the bottom foot of two covered in a black, oily looking substance. There are also a pair of windows and two electric service boxes hanging on the wall.

4/1/25. Illinois at Sunset. #photography #illinois
Color photography of the sun setting over a rural landscape. Electrical poles and wires trail out into the distance toward the sun, where they're lost in the brightness and the haze. In the foreground, we can see finger prints and dirt texture applied over the scene because of the Amtrak window through which this shot was taken.

Besides monarchs and bumblebees, 2025 has also been a great year for seeing skipper butterflies, like this Peck's skipper (Polites peckius). #butterfly #butterflies #Lepidoptera #Illinois #nature #macro #photography #photographylovers #wildlifephotography

The people in Dolton, Illinois are embracing the new Pope. He lived in the city and his house is being made into a museum.

A banner congratulations Pope Leo XIV is on the side of a Maxwell Street style hotdog place in Dolton, Illinois. There is a partly sunny sky above the restaurant. An orange roof is over the front of the building. Yellow posts protect the building from cars in the parking lot.
