Of course, the pictures don't do the flight justice (they never do),
but this year -- once feared to be a real "dud" for fall colors -- has
turned out to be quite beautiful here in Iowa.

Too bad it won't last much longer...

I went flying on Wed night. Chicago-area isn't quite at peak yet, but
there are a lot of brilliant trees. It is hard to beat flying low &
slow along the river valley.

Might be a good time to visit the Mississippi.
