“Turning Colors”
I’ve taken many photos along this theme over the years – I absolutely love the strong silhouette border and pop of colors in the sunlight.

“Lean Into the Morning Mist”
Sarah and I have also talked about taking a vacation down to Southern Illinois to see the natural beauty for years. By the time the trip was complete, we had hundreds of fantastic images.

Photo of a forest of tall, slender, deciduous trees in the summer. There is minimal understory, and the forest floor is carpeted with dry, brown leaves.
Photo of the bow of a canoe on a glassy lake just before sunset. In the distance on the right are forest-topped rocky cliffs. The water reflects the cliffs and a cloud on the left beneath which the sky appears pinkish.

I'm a hated individual. There's always someone mean mugging me or acting jealous. You can always tell when people constantly watch what you do and then copy you. I'm used to it by now. #shawneenationalforest

I signed up for a half marathon. It's a trail run through the #ShawneeNationalForest. I'm going to try to train for it, but I feel like I'll fast-hike most of it.
Now is the time to visit Snake Road for some herping #snakeroad #shawneenationalForest #Illinois reptilesmagazine.com/shawnee-nati...

Spring storms loom over the Garden of the Gods in Southern Illinois. The forest has not quite awakened from its winter slumber, and it's visible among the large boulders.

The start of a quick #backpacking trip in one of #Illinois 's three! #wilderness areas. Each is small; #Indiana 's #CharlesCDeam #Deam is larger than the three together.

#scenic view of the nearby #gardenofthegods in the magnificent #shawneenationalforest. Worried of what will be left after the plan of stripping 280 million acres of our #forests away. #nature #photography #illinois

One of the many interests my bf and I share is the love of outdoor spaces. He is a landscape and commercial photographer and I dabble in macro. But we both love the instant calm that disconnecting provides.

In the colder months, the Cardinals flock together. Surprised the branches didn't crack with them all gathered with some other bird friends!😅 #nature #photography #illinois #Cardinals #shawneenationalforest
It has still been crazy warm until the overnite temps finally dipped into 30s. Trees were budding again! I had to dig thru old photos to appreciate the autumn splendor, so here is one done as a layout, the edge of the #shawneenationalforest #nature #photography #autumn #fall #illinois #scrapbook
