I have been obsessed with this downed tree for years, but it was always missing something. Finally got lucky with this guy smoking a little weed first thing in the morning as the sun rose and turned all the trees bright orange 🧡

Are you participating in any of the economic blackouts/boycotts over this long weekend? I'm curious how many people are. I will not be spending any money until after Cyber Monday -but also not hosting any holiday parties, so it's not hard.

Moods of November 🖤

Maple leaves glow in moody November woods... I love the trees that take their time and last a little longer. They bring to mind the flowering trees of early Spring, when blossoms bloom before the rest of the forest wakes up. 🍁

I can't believe how fast this month has gone by! November is one of my favorite months. I like the mix of seasons, and the moodiness of the darker days. This photo is actually from December of last year, but it feels November-y.

Just deleted my photography Instagram account. I know it's for the best, but I'm having feelings. 😢

One more from the first snow! I love November. My brain loves to categorize everything so here's my November list:

Color: Red
Smell: Church Incense
Music: Dark classical/Gregorian Chants
Vibe: a little goth, but relishing the darkness
🖤🖤🖤

Happy Friday!

As soon as the snow stopped, it began melting on the trails and trees, bringing out the bright orange autumn colors... 🧡

I almost didn't go for a walk this last Sunday... the forecast showed more of a mix of rain and snow. But as I watched the snow out of my window, having my morning coffee, I knew it would be really pretty in the woods.

Autumn perfection. 🤌🧡💫

I tripped 3 times rushing to get a shot of this ray of light before she disappeared... that's probably less than I trip walking normally on average. 😆

When I see a path like this, you better believe I'm dancing down it to whatever stimmy song is whirling around my head. 💛

Ryerson Woods in Riverwoods is one of the best places in Northern Illinois for fall color. I make sure to visit at peak autumn every year, and have never had an experience short of magical.

I have a recurring dream where I find new trails in my old walking places. This last Sunday, I took a slightly different way into one of my favorite areas in these woods, and I found a new-to-me trail that was absolutely beautiful, meandering along a part of the creek I've never seen. 🧡
