Wow. Those are beautiful! I can't believe I'm the only one who's seen them so far. I'm going to put a little note over on the Discussion side. You are really in a beautiful place, both your hometown and the property you just bought. I really like the slide show format. It's funny because I was just experimenting with a slide show on Photobucket. It worked out pretty well but there is no control over the delay. I felt the Photobucket of 3 sec. a bit too fast. Anyway, GOOD JOB... McT

McT. gives good advice. This was well worth the trip. Your pictures are beautiful and the scenery is breathtaking. Thanks for sharing.

Great shots Joyce! I really enjoyed the slide show. Stunning photos!

McT, evermore, and Papou, I'm glad you enjoyed the tour! It is so beautiful here that it really does just take my breath away sometimes! We're supposed to do one more this weekend... in an area called Lac LaBelle. We had wind here yesterday, but Lac LaBelle is on the south side of the peninsula and they say the wind doesn't hit over there so bad. They have a fall color activity going on, ski lifts running to take people up to see the colors from above, and are also dumping (entrails, garbage, etc) to pull in the bald and golden eagles for photography. I'm hoping it works out well and I have this one more good colorful weekend to remember before snow hits :-)

Those pics are very nice,Jel,and I did look at them. People forget,however that I do not have to go and look at fall colors. I live in one of the most beautiful places in the U.S.,for fall colors,and ours are just coming into full beauty! I wish everyone could see this place in the Great Smokey mountains,and our fall color! Hope you are not offended by my saying this. Phil

LOL, Phil! Why would I be offended at that? I'd love to visit the Great Smokey mountains, fall or any other time! Lucky for both of us, that we live in such beautiful places :-)

Hey Phil, Like that old commercial "where's the beef?" Where's the PICTURES?!

To tell you the truth,Mct,I look at them all the time,so who needs a picture? Lol! I will try to get out and take a few soon,but they are not in full color yet! Here is a pic from last year to whet your appetite. Phil

Here's another from a couple years back. This is right by my neighbors house. I like the intense red of this tree! Phil

Those are beautiful Phil. I love the reds and oranges too. We have lots of yellows and golds around here but not as much of the red/orange. I should plan for that someday, plants something intentionally for the color. Meanwhile, the trees and bushes change without help from me! It's been beautiful here too, sunny but sometimes windy with dark skys. I took a few pictures the other day on a walk down the road with Brody.

Beautiful photos of the Keweenaw. I was in that area back in the mid-90's when I sailed in the Transsuperior sailboat race. Before the race, on the way to Sault-Ste-Marie from Duluth, we went through the ship canal. Very cool. The colors are pretty incredible here on Lake Minnetonka, just west of Minneapolis, too. We are very fortunate to live in such beautiful country, country in which hostas love to grow, too.

Really wonderful pics. everyone!!! They just take your breath away!!!
I hope it thrills your hearts everyday, anew, to have such beauty
surrounding you--everywhere you turn!!!

Phil, your photos are gorgeous. I sure hope you have some more to post this year. I'd love to see them!

And Merle, no red or orange needed to dress up a landscape like yours! Those trees are like pure liquid gold. You are another who lives in one of the most beautiful places in this continent. Just lovely.

Lois, what a great experience the Transsuperior sailboat race and that whole trip must have been. I would have loved doing that! I've been through your area in the fall and it is gorgeous too.

I can't imagine living in a place that didn't have the autumn colors. Just think! There'd be nothing to look forward to just before winter!! I don't think I'd like that!
