Severson Dells





Jan and I went to Severson Dells last Sunday. SD is a forest / nature preserve southwest of Rockford. Jan's former employer, Fred Kalivoda, past away in August of 2005 and his memorial service was held here. It has several trails which all link together. They offer owl walks, Dr Pond Scum and other weekly events at the Education Center. We took the kids out there when they were younger. We also took Rusty out there. When we returned to the parking lot he ran to the car, sat down and refused to move. He was done walking and ready to go home. Anyway, on our walk Sunday we saw a couple deer. It was great. They finally decided they'd had enough of us and ran away. The first one shows a deer jumping over a fallen tree with tail held high. I'm sure Jess has seen a couple of those before.
