I'm an east coast girl living in a west coast world. I grew up in New England before moving to SoCal for several years. I then lived in NYC or a year before moving to AZ in 2009. I worked in the entertainment industry for many years of my adult life and have a deep love for photography, writing, and traveling around the U.S. as well as to far-flung locations around the world. Travel is my life and writing about it is a dream!
While some of us enjoy the cold and snow, most can’t wait for the first signs of spring. The sun shines brighter, the air is warmer, flowers and trees start to bloom, and the frozen ice and snow start to melt, feeding rivers and waterfalls. It’s a great time of year to get outside, enjoy the fresh air at one of the many beautiful Illinois parks, and look for clues that spring has arrived! Here are a few parks around the state that showcase the beauty of the spring season each year.
