The autumn colors in northern Illinois leave somewhat to be desired. We don't get sweeping vistas of blazing colors here. I have to travel elsewhere to see those. Mostly, the landscape fades to yellowish-brown, then the leaves fall off the trees.We do get the occasional overachiever tree, like this one and the one pictured above. They're the individual ornamental trees selected and planted precisely because they do color in the fall. The tree above is located on the grounds of a church in Woodstock, Illinois. My wife and I passed through the town on our way home from Wind Point, where we witnessed the storm sequence pictured in the last several posts.
I hope to get out for some of those sweeping vista shots in the weeks ahead.

Great colors. I love single tree pictures. The hill is really neat!! Nick
Simple composition and some nice colors. I would have liked a bit more space above the tree, but its a great shot!
I made this my photo of the day over at my blog. I also noticed that you were listed on photoblogs.org so I gave you a bookmark and added some keywords. If you could return the favour it would be appreciated!
