Crex Meadows















We visited Crex Meadows & the Phantom Flowage near Grantsburg this weekend. It's one of our favorite places to go! There are miles upon miles of wild rice paddies and abundant wildlife including of swans, ducks, geese, wolves, and even moose! The water is terribly low this year so I was lucky to get these shots of the swans with their signets (one not pictured). Crex is open to hunting in certain areas, and was one of the first places I went hunting with Todd. We didn't shoot anything that day, but it was fun to just 'hang out' in such a wonderful place! It's so beautiful and peaceful there. When we were married, a friend of Todd's gave us a certificate that said a certain sum had been donated to Crex on our behalf. It was my favorite wedding gift of all! Crex is a place that I hope is protected for generations to come!
