The Last Maple & The Golden Ginkgo

The fall color is rapidly going at McKendree. Here is the last Maple in the Woodlands and the Ginkgo at the Highland View entrance (on Hermitage Presbyterian property).

I just made a photo book of the Woodlands (our park) with images from all four seasons and lots of wildlife photos. Thumb through it at http://www.blurb.com/b/4711611-woodlands-observed-3
