the patterns and colors of ferne clyffe state park in fall

I guess I am not really a less is more kind of person, because this post was hard enough to limit.
The six gadzillion pictures I posted here, or the six gadzillion more on my computer, do little to convey the beauty I observed in nature with my family last week.

Taking these pictures at all is such a futile attempt at capturing what is here, but attempt I must- because then I have at least these little glimpses to keep me occupied- and perhaps some one else out there appreciates them as well.

For me, I am just trying to figure out a time and a space to get back out there and experience even more of it.



















Blessed be to you and blessed be to the little creatures of the world.

these pics definitely transported me back to the southern illinois wilderness, which is indeed enchanting.
i especially like your picture looking up the trunk of that tall tree. very cool.
