November Falls

November 2005 is coming to an end. This November was, for the most part a gentle fall from summer into winter. There was much beauty to capture even in the urban setting. I include two photos in this post. The first is of a patch of dormant tall grass, the second is of a butterfly bush which I posted a photograph of during the summer when it was covered in pink blossoms, and hovering bees.

Behind the butterfly bush, and across ninth street - if you can make it out - is Horace Mann East, which houses Horace Mann's IT, and MIS facility. Both photographs were taken on the east side of Horace Mann Plaza in late November 2005. Horace Mann Companies Home Office is located in downtown Springfield, Illinois.
