Well, it is time for another compare and contrast blog. This time the subject is Sawnee Mountain. Actually more to the point Sawnee Mountain Preserve or as I like to call it Little Sawnee Mountain. Anyway, I have visited the park in just about every season. Technically the trip I just made is in spring, but the park is at summer leaf cover. So, I have photos that cover the park in its different stages. Some spots have four seasons, others three and some two, so here goes.
