Crow Creek Bluff

Fall is one of my favorite seasons and I sure wish it would last longer. Most of the dominant colors now are brown and rust but just last week the yellows along the shore were very vibrant. Here are a few photos that were not included in last week’s “Photo of the Week”.

Grand Marais Overlook

The bluff overlooking Grand Marais had bright yellow mixed with the greens of the spruce and balsam.

The view from the Pincushion Trail parking lot overlooking Grand Marais Harbor was breathtaking.

Little Marais Cliff

This rock cliff near Little Marais caught my eye as we drove down the shore.

Oak Leaves 001

The reds on some of the oaks were also very vibrant this year.

It is interesting how some of the most vibrant reds are produced in direct sunlight. Notice how this leaf cast a shadow on the one below. In the next photo see how that shadow stopped the reds from being manufactured.
