A Beautiful Fall Day

A beautiful fall day sparked a couple of photos last week. Hershey is situated waaaaay out in the hinterlands, in a gorgeous area right by the north fork of the Wildcat. The area is teeming with wildlife - I have even seen bald eagles by the school! (Along with deer, coyotes, and a even couple of peacocks from the farm down the road.)

I love that we are surrounded by farm fields, woods, and the Wildcat - not only is it pretty by the school, it also makes for a very scenic drive to work. (I also get to cross the Wabash twice a day - now, that's MY river!)

Last week as I was leaving the building, the autumn light and turning leaves on the trees was giving everything a lovely golden glow. I whipped out my iPhone and snapped a couple of pictures as I walked to my car.

The view from the exit door near my classroom includes both the new playground, the cornfield behind it, and then the woods along the Wildcat in the background. This is looking south.

To the east/southeast the woods continue while the field comes to an end. The owners of the woods allow Hershey to use it for learning trips and maintain a trail through it across several smaller creeks that flow into the Wildcat. We are fortunate to have that access, and it is beautiful down in the woods. (The trail actually takes you down a ravine for access.)
