Thursday Photo Challenge: Thankful

This week's theme is "Thankful", in honor of Thanksgiving, of course.

During my absence the past few months (more about that later), the importance of family and making memories has been stressed! While trying to find pictures of everyone, I realized that I had already posted them (from our reunion).  Given that, the next thing I am thankful for is my camera.  With it, I am able to document my adventures and those images stir emotions, feelings, and memories.  Because I only have one camera, I cannot take a photograph of it, so here are a few favorite autumn images I've captured recently.

I love autumn.

Taken in Wheaton, Illinois at Seven Gables Park.  This tree
stayed yellow long after the rest had dropped
their leaves.  

This is the mum in my perennial garden - I love the deep red color!

Also taken in Wheaton, Illinois at the school where I teach.
