Foliage from the 'fill

One thing I love about Chicago, is the fact that we experience 4 distinct seasons. 
Unfortunately winter is the most distinct, but we begrudgingly survive it each year.

Right now, the colors around town are GORGEOUS!

I've been reading a lot of Utah blogs lately, where pics of fall foliage from the canyons and mountainsides are posted.
Makes me just a wee bit jealous...

So, last weekend, we headed off to our own mountain mound of garbage to see what we could see.

Although the day was gray, the colors were spectacular!

Only 5 more days to check out the fall foliage from the Scenic Overlook, at the Greene Valley Forest Preserve:  October 17-18, 24-25, & 31, between 11am-6pm.

If it's not too hazy, you might even get a glimpse of downtown.

I bet the colors are even better by now!
