Color in the Woods

On the way to a travel seminar, with the weather so unseasonably warm and beautiful, I left two hours early with the intention of catching up some some late-fall color. My first stop was Churchill Woods in Lombard and Glen Ellyn, a quiet place with some beautiful color.

We generally expect our fall color to be in the leaves, but much of the color at Churchill was in the rest of the vegetation rather than in the leaves, most of which were already fallen.
