It has been quite the challenge to find any vivid "punch-you-in-the-face" fall colors around the Chicago area this year... Lot of mediocre yellow and browns though. I was out hiking this last weekend when I came across this great patch of color in a small clearing in the woods. The lighting here is a little too direct for my taste, but this is the most vibrant display of fall I've come across so far, so I had to stop and try to get the shot...<br />
