CMMC: September Autumn

Raccoon River, Walnut Woods State Park, West Des Moines, Iowa. September 30, 2021.

Cee’s theme for the Midweek Madness Challenge is Autumn or Spring. I decided to stick to Autumn and use pictures I have taken in the last several weeks.

Some of the apples were ripe for picking at Center Grove Orchard when I was there in mid-September. That morning’s excursion ended at the Hay Café for lunch. The fresh, chunky applesauce was good; the warm apple crisp was even better. I might need to go back soon.

Though not advertised at the orchard when I was there, I found the pumpkins.

When searching for fall color on the 20th of September, I found these red sumac leaves at the center of the plant.

On the last day of September I found these beauties – some kind of a vine that winds around tree trunks in the woods.
