What’s there to do on a sunny 70-degree day in November, besides grab a camera and go to the park?
While a hard freeze wilted all the flowers about a week ago, the leaves have only gotten more vibrant and colorful. The prairie grasses and hydrangea blossoms remain pretty, even as they look more like the dried flowers one would put in a centerpiece. Here in central Illinois, many of the ducks and geese stick around for the winter.












Praise be to God for gorgeous November days!
Amazing photos, thanks for sharing.

Gorgeous, Debi Sue! It looks as though your fall hasn’t been as windy as ours. Many of our trees have lost most of their leaves, and some still have a lot of green on them.
…Remind me where you are?

Thank you for the reminder of Fall beauty. There is such beautiful color in these photos! I am just curious what that tower in the shape of three crosses is.

It’s a carillon. There is a professional carillon player who works there most of the year except for winter, and we have a week-long carillon festival in the summer.

Very beautiful pics, and a freeze helps the tree colors pop out. But I am wishing for SNOW!, not the 80F temp we had yesterday.😉
