Half Day Pond, Lake County, Illinois
By Sunday, most of the colorful trees here had lost all of their leaves after multiple days of high winds. Plan B was to try some shots more towards the northern end of Half Day Pond. The water in the pond must have cooled down a lot in the previous week. Ice had formed in the shallow areas among the cattails and alders. Sunday would turn out to be a lovely fall day but it sure felt like winter-time at sunrise.
