Almost Fall, in Island Park...

I had a rental car this weekend and Michael and I took off, not quite knowing where we were going to end up. Late in the day we found ourselves at Island Park, in Geneva, IL. Its funny how fall colors are different even among different trees. This little guy is quite ready for winter, while the older bigger ones seem to be saying, not quite yet.


I don't know what this flower is, but it was a surprise to find it growing in a park where there were no other flowers.


Looking across the water, fall is slowly appearing...


Another bit of color.
