"Summertime blues" as summer comes to an end in Peoria, IL
Over the last couple of months, I ended up photographing some summer wildlife and also visited some local flower nurseries in Peoria, IL to capture some summer photos. I also checked out and photographed some local sunflower fields outside of Peoria, IL this past July as well. It has been a busy couple of months of photography as usual as the summer season ends. It has been a productive couple months with summer photography and at the same time getting more acclimated with portrait photography as well. I've added photos from a few weeks of photography capturing the summer season below:
Macro photography at its finest!

That will wrap up my summer photos over the last few months in this post. I also ended up photographing the total solar eclipse a few weeks ago and I'll be adding an upcoming post with some photos from that astonishing event in the coming week or so.
