Allerton Park continues to be one of my favorite places in Central Illinois.  Here are some pictures from our outing last fall. Last year we were there a bit earlier in the season, cheeks were chubbier :-), and the place was swarmed with ladybugs or Asian beetles or whatever. This year we went on a cloudy, blustery day (the weekend before Halloween), the fall colors were fabulous, and we “discovered” the path within the giant hedgerow!  So fun!
