Isabella

I met Isabella and her owner at the Springbrook Prairie Forest Preserve dog park in Naperville.  'Bella is a six year old Australian shepherd.   Australian shepherds are working dogs with strong herding and guarding instincts.  When I walked to get far enough from her for a photo, she followed herding me!

As I returned to my car I heard a far away call high in the sky. Although more than one half mile away to the west, I knew the noise was generated by migrating sandhill cranes. Took a couple long range photos for later ID on the computer, but decided it was not advisable to try to follow them in the car down Illinois Rt 59.
