Every year now for more years than I can remember, my wife and I have traveled to northern Minnesota with the hopes of catching fall colors just right. Usually we hear- "you should have been here last week" or "you're a week too soon", but this year we really lucked out and we hit it "just right"!.
I think these images epitomize our findings this trip - a nice palette of colors and good water flow in the streams. It's hard to put into words the feelings you experience when you drive for miles surrounded by oceans of yellows, gold and reds, colors so bright it almost hurts your eyes. The most vibrant of colors were off highway 61, inland five to ten miles from the towns of Lutsen, Tofte and Grand Marais.The roads in the back roads are narrow graveled forest service roads and care must be used as the logging trucks are huge and they drive really fast. Although there are few homes in this area, you'll see lots of folks like yourself, enjoying the fall scenery and stopping on the narrow roads taking pictures.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by my photo blog and please remember to mark your calendar, as this weekend is the Artisans Road trip and I and several other artists will be at the Piece Of Work, downtown Spirit Lake Friday from 4 to 8 and Sat & Sun from 9 to 5. Refreshments will be served and there will be lots of catching up to do. Hope to see you there!
