Hit the road about 4:50am, made my way north to Lake Bluff, and was treated to one of the most spectacular displays of astronomy I can ever recall along the lakefront.   Venus, Jupiter, Mars, and the crescent moon have been putting on a show for a couple of days.  However, low on the horizon, elusive Mercury decided to make a special appearance as well.   All I can say is WOW!   If you were out biking early this morning, you got a real eyeful. 

This picture doesn't do it justice, but this is what it looked like when all four planets were visible.  You'll need to use your imagination--the phone wasn't sensitive enough to pick up Mercury and Mars.

A hawk at the Bill Jarvis Bird Sanctuary:

Really enjoying the beautiful fall colors in your pictures. Thanks for continuing to post through the seasons. 

Thank you for the kind words, Yasmeen.
