Maples Turn First

Autumn in Champaign
So, we took a couple side trips this weekend to view the foliage. So far, only the maples, horsechestnuts, and honey locusts have started to turn. The oaks, elms and sycamores still look green. So, here you go. The ridiculousness.

Parting Shot
At Allerton, we found a small leaf cupped like a boat, filled with water. It was kooky.


And these crazy looking roots.


And just in case you forgot how terrifyingly gigantic the trees are in Illinois, here's a picture for comparison.
