My son was helping rake leaves in a small community in central Wisconsin. That night he helped burn the leaves in a burn barrel. With the almost full moon, smoke, and the blaze of the fire, it seemed as if he was part of a scene from Macbeth!

A few weeks ago, I was on a walking trip in Normandy and Brittany. During a barefoot trek across the Bay of Mont-Saint-Michel at low tide, I saw this group of modern day pilgrims heading for the famous abbey. When I took this picture, I was cold and miserable, a victim of an especially chilly, rain day, but looking back, I wouldnt trade the experience for anything.

This photo was taken from atop Starved Rock on October 12th. Although not in the photo a full moon added to what was a beautiful start to the day. Got to love seasonal change.
