A couple of weeks ago Kathy & I met up with good friends in Nauvoo, IL. Nauvoo is an historical site associated with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS). We toured both Nauvoo and Carthage – a few miles away.
It was great catching up with our friends and visiting these historical sites and learning more about the church’s history. I was also intrigued by the fall colors and the Geese migrating to their winter quarters. Thus these photos.
These geese (Cackling Geese I believe), illuminated by the afternoon sun, were moving from the river to their night time safe area.
Even though the trees were very colorful, this lone leaf – laying in the parking lot – caught my attention. People going to their cars in the parking lot were probably scratching their heads when they saw this photographer taking pictures of the asphalt.
Along the banks of the Mississippi River. What a beautiful view.
Back home after a fun trip I found this “Red” tree in a neighborhood here in town. Wow, what color… and so close to home. It pays to have a camera with you at all times.
Today the wind is blowing in the 20 – 25 mph range. The beautiful color will not be on the trees very much longer. Piles of colorful leaves are in the future.
WE HAV E GEESE ON MANY PONDS AND LAKES .SEE THE LOCALS FLYING LOW .SEE THE TRAVELERS IN THE V SHAPE FLYING SOUTH . IT HAS BEEN DRY HERE FOR TWO MONTHS AND TREES ARE NOT COLORING TOO MUCH -JUST TURNING BROWN AND FALLING OFF.RED AND YELLOW MAPLE ARE THE BEST …
