Meteorological Spring - Passing of the Seasons

This is looking south toward the Litchfield weigh station on I-55.  It is a view of the prairie between I-55 and old Route 66.  While today represents meteorological spring, It looks pretty wintery.  I finally decided on this site for my passing of the season photos this year.  Some of the prairie is restored and some is native.  IDOT messed it up somewhat by cleaning out the ditch running through it.

Passing of the Seasons

Today's view from the first overpass north of Litchfield. Most of the crops are harvested within view, but there is still some corn standing.  Pretty typical for our area right now.

Fall Colors

Fall Colors are looking good and warm weather is in the forecast.  Enjoy the weekend.

 The tree is loaded with Persimmons, but they are not ripe yet.  Even a soft one on the ground had a pucker factor.

Hedge Apples

I picked up Hedge Apples (fruit of Osage Orange) to use for insect repellant in my basement.  They are said to be poisonous, but I have seen squirrels rip them open to get the seeds.
