I really wanted to get out and get to see some Fall colors this year, since we had been hearing it was going to be a good year for it.  But you know how things are, one thing after another just keeps coming up. 

So finally, last Sunday we decided to take a drive around St. Charles County, and soon became aware that we had obviously missed the peak.  Even so, I did find some beautiful trees right in Creve Coeur Lake Park.  The reds are gone, but the yellows are still pretty intense.
