the earth reclaims all that has come forth from it.

trees along the east side of the fox river.

the trees thank the sun with a burst of color for the summer and get ready to rest in the winter.

i almost didn't take this picture. i went past, but turned around and shot this through a small opening of trees.

when i first got there, the sun was high and the lighting was perfect. sometimes a picture tells a story.

on top of a glacial mound with sun light streaming across.

i stopped to take a picture of a swamp with cattial and covered with duckweed. i looked back up the trail and a hundred feet away a saw a black object moving along the trail. i thought it was a bird or a chipmonk. it was this guy.
