Flowers in the Fermilab Woods
from FNA member and Fermilab employee Gordon Koizumi:
I was out there [in the woods and prairie] for part of Saturday morning and took some amateur photos. Although it was rather windy, I'm glad I made it out there before the leaves on the trees filled out to the point where all direct sunlight was blocked from the forest floor.
