This past weekend, my family and I went on a day trip to the Larue Pine Hills National Natural Landmark in southern Illinois. The area is composed of some bluffs overlooking an old river canal that is now a series of oxbow lakes and swamps. The leaves were just starting to change color so there wasn't a lot, but there was some color. This is a shot from on top of the bluffs looking down at one of the swampy areas.
