Autumn gold, that is. And the hills are in Moraine Hills State Park, Illinois. Despite only living about an hour’s drive from here, this was our first trip to the park. As with many of these places, I feel that Autumn is the best time to visit. No aggresive springtime nesting redwings. or pesky summer mosquitoes.
There were plenty of easy walking trails and some beautiful scenery but the best part, for me, was when a flock of cedar waxwings stopped at some nearby trees to snack on the berries.
Pure gold. Beautiful.
Thank you, Michael! I can’t think why we’ve never been there before but we’ll definitely be going back.
You’re welcome 🙏
The colours are wonderful, Sue. Beautiful photos. 🌹🙋♂️
Thank you, Ashley!
Wonderful photos showing the real beauty of autumn colour and the lovely waxwings too.
Thank you! I got really lucky with the waxwings. There were so many of them and they stayed for such a long time that I was able to get a couple of good shots.
Stunning photographs. 😊
Many thanks, Pepper! It’s always nice to find a new place and the weather was perfect.
