My favorite place in Schaumburg, IL

No trip to my homeland of suburban Chicago is complete without a visit to Spring Valley, where I've been going since I was an itty bitty kid. It's beautiful in summer, fall, winter, and spring...so basically all the time. My first black and white darkroom prints in high school were of this place.  Since then I keep coming back for more, and though the place is tiny, I never tire of bringing my camera along on a walk. I think this is where I fell in love with tall grass; it must have imprinted early in my little kindergarten brain.

We went camping Memorial Day weekend

...and of course I captured it all on Instagram! I realize the point of camping is to get away and unplug, but I couldn't help it. I was secretly grateful I had cell phone service in some spots so I could snap and share. Here's the re-cap, all shot on my iPhone 4 and shared on Instagram. Follow me @christineshoots

We camped at Moffitt Beach Campground on Sacandaga Lake in the Adirondacks. It was mighty fine.
