Fall colors seem to be lagging behind this year in the mid-west compared with past years. I suppose this is due to our extremely wet June and July and the lack of cool nights so far. I think that will change soon and I still have nature's magnificent display of color to look forward to in the coming weeks.
For now the woods are still quite green:
But in selected details, fall colors and patterns can be found:
And no matter what, this time of year brings opportunities for some of my favorite morning things: spider webs and dew:

Bonnie, you are so good at nature shots! I wish I were there with you! I love our time shooting together! These are fabulous! I especially love the close ups on the leaves and the water droplet shots! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteB-E-A-U-tiful, I love your woods, you make it look so interesting. And your leaves makes me want to get out there and see what surrounds me. I can´t wait for this night to end and there will be day light again, thank you so much for inspiring me :-) Keep up the great pictures :-) Thank you
ReplyDeleteThe detail images are stunning, love how you capture nature's tiny world! The spider web with droplets is my favorite and the last one is so sparkling! Always enjoy seeing your work!
ReplyDeleteI always love your nature shots. The photos of the dew on the spider webs are gorgeous. And the photos of the leaves totally evoke the feeling of fall (even if it is a little green in the woods). :)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully done Bonnie, is that path through the woods with the staircase near you? I'd love to hike that trail. The spider webs & droplets are stunning!
ReplyDeleteYes, I wondered the same thing as Kathleen, what an unexpected site those stairs in the woods, very cool! And the spiderwebs + dew drops is nautre at it's finest :)
ReplyDeleteI love your gorgeous nature shots, and all the detail, so cool! I wish Fall would arrive soon!
ReplyDeleteKathleen and Suzanne--yes, those woods are near my house. It is a local park and it is not huge in terms of acreage, but is a great place for a walk--stairs along trails in Indiana seem to be a common thing.
