When we first moved to Chicago suburb six years ago, it was in late September. Cold, cloudy days with no sunshine continued for days. I didn't know the existence of wonderful nature parks, a.k.a., forest preserves in my new neighbourhood. We left there two years ago.
We were back to Illinois again last month. It was in early September. The summer hadn't ended. The forest preserves were full of wildflowers as seen in this image and showed this wonderful gardenscape.
Wildflowers are gone and most coloured leaves have fallen. Winter is near. Hours of sunlight is short. Sunset is around 4:30. It is amazing how much the landscape has changed compared to the picture of a different lake in the same region in the comment below taken two months before.
Please continue prayers for my sister's husband Matt. Heartfelt thanks to all of you that have been praying and sending encouragement.
They have done all they can for now to dissolve the many, large blood clots and are going to see how he does in the next couple of days. He also had to go off food for now to try to heal digestive organs. Blood flow still slow in certain areas and kidney function is depressed.
Because of the hot weather that continued until mid fall, change of colors was so slow. In this forest preserve, green was more prominent than any autumnal colors.

Added a bit of the Orton Effect .... I rarely do but "when the spirit moves" or so they say. Check out (Google) the 'Gardenscapes' of american photographer Lynn Geesaman if you want to see it done really well.

As the leaves float atop of the garden lake, the lavender takes a bow as the season changes. Loving the weather here in West Michigan!
At the far end of the sunken garden section of Olbrich Botanical Garden in Madison, Wi. A little long exposure shot sans tripod - just held the camera on the edging and pressed it down throughout the exposure.
