This is my favorite time of year. When the smells in the air change, the leaves start to get that familiar color change and the hunting seasons come. This is what grounds me. Today, I was out hunting pheasants. That was my primary mission, however, not my only mission. As always with me, just being in the crisp morning air and listening to the sounds and watching the sights as the day comes alive was just as rewarding. As I was walking around, I would occasionally stop and just look at my surroundings and enjoy the moment. I was walking down a gravel road, looked up and saw this scene. I didn't even have to think and my hand automatically went to my vest pocket to grab my camera. I did not find any pheasants, but, this sight alone was worth getting up for.
