Autumn in Missouri

I returned home yesterday from my trip to Missouri. The St. Louis Weavers' Guild show was great as always and then I ventured on to visit my folks in my home town in the Ozark Foothills. My sister Jan and I took a drive to the town of Van Buren where one of the largest springs in the nation is. Big Springs pumps out an average of 256 million gallons of water a day! Of course the deciduous trees were all aflame which is something I miss this time of year in California. We do have our big leaf maples, cottonwoods, and nut trees that change color but mostly we have evergreens. I went crazy with my camera but am only posting a few of the many pics I took. As we all know pictures speak louder than words so enjoy.
