fall falls
Taken at Starved Rock State Park in Oglesby Illinois. The overwhelming geographical feature of the midwest plains is: flat! So, I never get tired of hiking the caverns, paths, and waterfalls of Starved Rock. Hope you can see it some day!
and…..breathe…
Sorry for the space in between posts…. I have been on…well…. an adventure of sorts. Was hospitalized for one night earlier this week due to difficulty breathing….great difficulty breathing. Long story short, I am all right, but have been ill since Oct. 6. Cough, wheezing…etc. On meds and on the mend now.
I took a short stroll to try and soothe some cabin fever and brought my camera. In our corner of the world fall fell, and is falling away towards winter, but there are still moments where you just wait…and let the colors saturate your soul and fuel your wonder and…..breathe…

let go the summer days
the buzzing evening songs
and the corn so high
and proud
just embrace crispy leaves
the cedar scented sweater
it’s raining yellow
orange and red
dear cold rose
rest beneath
a wintry blanket
the dark cold days
just a bridge
to that wondrous
moment
then Spring
