Nelson Lake Marsh – Dick Young Forest Preserve, Kane County, Illinois

This will be the first in an ongoing blog entry on one of my favorite local hangouts, the Nelson Lake Marsh, located just four miles from my home in Batavia.  I went out for my first snowshoe outing this morning, somewhat cold, especially with the west wind coming off the prairie.  As time goes on I’ll add photos of the Lake from all seasons – I’ve got plenty to choose from.  As of now I’m still restricted to only using my old 50mm f/1.4 Nikkor, as my “regular lens” is in the shop.  I look at this as a learning experience, as I am restricted to a 50mm lens, not my 18-55mm zoom.  It forces me to take more time to frame my shots.  This lens is in a certain respect more versatile, as it is a f/1.4 vs my usual 3.5.  I look forward to expanding this post in the future!!
