i recently returned to Northerly Island, which was once a small airport known as Meigs Field. it was during winter that i was first visited, so there wasn't anything on the ground. there's not a whole lot there now that it's summer either. just grass and several species of wild flowers indigenous to the area (i think). i didn't read all the signs. and thus, i cannot name the flower species below. at first i thought they were sunflowers. but they're just upward facing, and not turned toward the sun. besides, the center area on sunflowers don't look like the ones in the images below. maybe. i dunno. anyway, enjoy.
