Dale offers the theme “a summer walk in the sunshine” for this week’s Cosmic Photo Challenge.
These were taken on walks through the forest preserves in northeastern Illinois.
In the first photo there’s an understory of small maples that the photo didn’t emphasize as much as my memory does. In the last photo I was amazed by the shadows cast of those particular leaves.


Excellent! Nothing like a good summer walk.
