Here in southern Wisconsin, autumn is really starting to creep up on us.

Early morning autumn color
These maples (at Edgewood College) are always the first trees I see changing color in the fall.

Maple glow
Hiking through peak yellow
I spent the afternoon hiking one of my favorite local spots for autumn colors, the U.W. Lakeshore Nature Preserve. There is nothing like being in the middle of the forest there, when the maple trees are at peak color and the sun is lighting them up.

A little awe is good for the soul
As I walked through Olbrich Gardens this morning, a man was stopped in the middle of the path, staring intently at a mature tree. His back toward me, unaware of my presence, I excused myself to get by. He apologized for being in the way, saying he was just in awe of the beautiful old tree. I agreed as I walked past, saying something about many awe inspiring sights to see today. As I continued to walk over the creek bridge, I thought, any day that gives you feelings of awe, is a good day.
