Shoe Factory Woods
by Vicki Milewski
I have been walking with my walking friend for over a decade and have come to find such inspiration from the walking, conversation and scenery in this small paradise just outside of Chicago, IL
​
Selected artworks from this collection:
Prayer Flag Maple Tree
​
Each fall this tree amazes with deep red leaves that cover it in strange configuration
Berry Tree with Ghost Cloud
​
This cloud loomed up over the fall golden grass as we stood with the Berry Tree and watched.
Prayer Flag Tree 1
​
Even the leaves on this Maple tree are fantastical in shape
Birch Trees in the Fall
​
They seem to dance and enjoy growing together.
White Flowers in Golden Grass
​
These white flowers had such a glow and presence!
Oak Tree Hill
​
This lone oak stands on the highest hill surrounded by sky and grass.
Many Paths to Choose From
Once cleared of grasses through prescribed burnings these trees took off in all directions
Golden Grass
The restored prairie grasses turn such a brilliant gold in the fall
