Remains of autumn

We decided to get out for a little drive today.  I saw some of these dried up remains and they were just so beautiful.  I could not get close to this but loved the background.  It was at the edge of the Big Raccoon Creek.  I cropped the photo I took to get this image.  I played with it a little bit with Picasa.
