Amy at The World is A Book has given us the challenge this week to find layers.
This summer we drove through South Dakota’s Badlands on the way home from Wyoming. The Badlands were so good this year, greener than we’ve ever seen.
Badlands layers
Although not spectacular on such a large scale, there are plenty of layers to be found at McDowell Forest Preserve in Naperville, Illinois, my home park where I walk whenever possible.
Summer layers
Frosty fall layers
Feathery fall (and frosty) layers
Have a wonder-filled weekend!
This, that and the other thing 
Some good layers, Janet!
Thanks, Sue. Glad you liked them.
I love the contrast in scale here Janet. And the last shot is particularly lovely.
Thanks, Su. “My” park is a continual delight to me, a bittersweet one this year as we’ll be moving early next year. I’ll just have to discover a new one. 🙂
We went to the badlands when I was a kid. I found a fossil jawbone there. Thanks for the fond memories.
My pleasure, Carol. It’s a special place, that’s for sure and this summer is was spectacularly beautiful.

Which made for beautiful photos 😎
I love the way our favorite places change over time and with the seasons. We go often, but it’s always different some how. These are beautiful photos, Janet.
Thanks, Dan. Much appreciated.
Now those are layers I can immerse myself into – not another human anywhere in sight!
🙂 I feel like that as well. I’m happy that there are parks of all types: city, state, and national. But I’m always happy when I go to the park and never see anyone else while I’m there. 🙂 There were plenty of people in the Badlands, but it’s such a big place that it wasn’t bad.
It is beautiful. I like the way the landscapes change with the seasons
It’s endlessly fascinating, Aletta.
I agree👍😊
Lovely season images, Janet. This area is very beautiful – thank you for the tour!
You’re very welcome, Leya. I’m always happy to share the beauty.
I am grateful!
A beautiful park for a walk. Love the season changing layers. Well captured, Janet!
I’m glad you enjoyed the park, Amy. It’s beautiful in a less spectacular way than the Badlands or maybe just in a much smaller way. 🙂
Very lovely shots, Janet. Thank you!
Thank you, Resa. Glad you enjoyed them.
Beautiful, beautiful layers!
Many thanks. I’m glad you enjoyed them. Thanks for taking time to comment as well.
