Autumn Woods

Today I spend some time walking in the woods along the Fox River, near where I live. There is still for the most part, a brilliant yellow backdrop to the landscape – especially when the sun shines – that absolutely lights up the environment. Combine that visual richness with the crisp swish from a carpet of leaves on the ground... the woody, mossy, earthy scent of the forest... the deep hush of being just far enough away from the rest of civilization... and the profound sense of horizontal depth and vertical space. Simply wonderful!

 

The only thing I added by being there... was the sound of my shutter firing... and a contented sigh or two. Soooo... what made your heart soar today?
