Nature preserve in winter

The last time I posted photos of the O.D. von Engeln Nature Preserve, it was September. It looked rather different Saturday, under a few inches of snow.

If you'd like to visit, even though this lovely snow is now melting, it's off West Malloryville Road (map), not too far from McLean.
