The autumn weather here in Illinois has been beautiful so I have been obsessed with riding my bike in the forest. There’s a nice forest preserve by me with stony paths.
Wooly bear caterpillar friend who hitched a ride on my leg. She’s scared so she is curled into a ball. I put her in a pad of grass so she would not get hurt.
Can you see the wooly bear caterpillar on my leg? She’s in the hollow of my knee on the left side. I ended up re-locating her in a big patch of field.
I love the deciduous forest.
This was a day of heartrending beauty.
I heard an animal back here but I could not spot him/her.
The lake at the end of the trail.
Sweaty. I took off my helmet for the last few minutes and let my hair fly free. It felt good.
