Signs of a Chicago Autumntime Woodland

Autumn leaves join heart-shaped foliage of wild ginger and a filiigree false rue anemone on the woodland floor of Black Partridge Woods in Lemont, Illinois.

At Black Partridge Woods, the rain left a wet gloss on the arboreal leaves, while the leaves of wild giger and false rue anemone attempt to retain their green springtime hues.

On a drizzly afternoon this November, I visited Lemont’s Black Partridge Woods to photograph my favorite symbol of the autumntime woodland. No, not the conspicuous red and bronze hues of the fallen canopy, but the yellowing heart-shaped perimeters of wild ginger, seen hiding amidst the filigree of false rue anemone.
