Road Trip Diversion

My wife and I made a road trip from our Indiana cabin lodging to Madison, Indiana, during our traditional fall stay in Indiana.

Madison is a picturesque, small city in Southern Indiana. There are a number of enticing antique and craft venues, favorite shopping for my wife, in Madison. A river runs through the area and one of the larger antique markets is located within sight of the river, maybe a block or two away, with open areas between that venue and the river and the park along the river. This provides me with an opportunity to walk around by the riverside, while my wife shops.

A Common Fall Tree in Madison

There were many of these trees with their red/yellow fall foliage along the streets and in the yards of homes in Madison and many fallen leaves beneath the trees and in the streets. This is probably a mundane fall event for those in this part of the country, but rare for one from Texas.

We were here a couple of days before Halloween. I noted natural features in the trees along the riverside that would make good Halloween photos. I captured images of a number of these features, but did not get the images processed in time for a Halloween post.

Capitol Reef National Park, Utah, March 2022, Part 21 – Tree Creature

Tree Creature

As I was shooting the triple arch of the previous post, I noted an old tree on the sandy ridge below the arch.  Readers will already know that I have a fondness for  gnarly old trees.

This one reminded me of a weird looking creature crawling along the ground.  After taking the photo above, I noted some interesting features of the tree that reinforced my impression that this looked like an unusual creature.

Tree Creature Eyes

This feature looks like eyes of a mysterious creature.
