A Quick Midwest Visit!

I had the chance to visit family this week.  My aunt lives in a beautiful suburb west of Chicago.  We were very lucky, as the weather was absolutely perfect.  Fall is setting in, so a really nice change of pace from my usual scenery in So. Cal.  Anyway, wanted to share a few photos from my trip. Happy SkyWatch Friday!
Morton Arboretum.  Thanks to my sister over at Lap Dog Knits for letting me
use her camera!!

  1. Lovely finds in Chicago. That tree is magical, the way you shot it looks like it is one tree!

  2. Love the translucent green bug's-eye view with the flare, and the tawny brown leaves framing the afternoon sun. It reminds me of the moving "Fern Gully." It even looks like there is a bug (or a fairy) in the top left side of the screen amidst the fall leaves!
