Fall continues to slowly embrace the air in northern Illinois. While the colors aren't as brilliant as in some years, what we have is a visual treat to my eyes. Tones are more muted but nearly as spectacular. The light on some afternoons has just been perfect. Clear, warm, crisp. This photo is from Duefield Pond near Woodstock, IL. Just a little wetlands area not too far from the post office and Jewel shopping center. But there it is, peaceful and spectacular just a turn off a main road. I'll never get over fall. I think each year it is the season I look forward to most. I savor each opportunity I have to be out to experience it. I roll down the windows in my car when driving past a pile of burning leaves. I guess it brings back my childhood but its more than that. Its fall. The end of a life cycle but such a glorious thing.
