On the other side of this bridge, are the Burwalde Woods. It contains large maple & oak trees, natural prairie grasses, a variety of wildflowers during the summer & beautiful vegetation to photograph in the fall.
The Dead Horse Creek also meanders through the woods & there is a small amount of water in places.
In the meadow, there are many Milkweed plants & some pods are still filled with seeds.
These seeds are just waiting for a strong wind to take them to another area where they will grow. Milkweed is not wanted by dairy farmers in grassy meadows where cows graze as it can taint the milk.

Looking across the meadow, is a slough filled with bulrushes.
Golden leaves & rose hips on a wild rosebush.
A green cluster of berries gives a contrast of colour to the reddish stem & the brown & green leaves.
Sharp thorns on a hawthorn tree. I found so much colour & textures when exploring the Burwalde Woods.
