We recently had a one-off guided tour, adult scavenger hunt, and photo workshop at the Volo Bog in (where else?) Volo, Il. The morning began with an explanation of the area and its creation by Mary, Naturalist and tour guide extraordinaire who led us around the area on the wood and aluminum walkways. A very enjoyable time was had by everyone–most all of whom were there for the first time. While the Visitor Center isn’t always open, the actual bog area is. There are hours that vary by season so before you start on a drive out there, check out the Volo Bog at dnr.volobog@illinois.gov. Get out there when you can–it’s certainly a great photo venue. I’ve attached some snaps from our time at the bog. All pictures: 18mm lens, f4, ISO 100

Getting an overview. Masks provided warmth.
Cameras at the ready.
The questions just kept coming.
