Note:  The majority of photos displayed here are a terrific example
of color and texture.  

Gold is a common enough color in the Fall, but when you get close, you realize the beauty of the shades of gold.

I loved the contrast of blue and gold.  In addition, the textures in the mass of leaves keeps the eyes constantly moving.

I took this photo simply because I liked the contrast of colors.  The burgundy and green melt together.  Also, it made me philosophize a bit.  Within this photo, change is evident.  As in life, events and circumstance move us forward in a constant state of change.  Nature has learned to "go with flow" of change.

While strolling the grounds, I almost missed this photograph.  The tree was off the pathway amongst a crop of trees.  I shot this photo simply because it was pretty.  It was a treasure found among trees already barren of their leaves.

When I walk in a forest, park, or meadow, I have a tendency to look down.  I'm so glad I did this day, because I discovered the most fascinating mushrooms.  There were dozens of them hiding in the grass.  What a treasure to be missed by the careless visitor.

I had to include a photo of the geese.  These beautiful birds are quite common in the Chicagoland area. If there is a lake, you will find geese.

The fountain is located in the middle of the pond.  It really is a lovely view.  I decided to take this perspective because of the vibrant red branches from the tree.  The red contrast nicely against the turquoise water and blue sky.
