Fall Colors III – Peninsula State Park, Wisconsin

More pix from a fall colors drive.

Along Skyline Drive in Peninsula State Park. It's like a tunnel of trees.

View from overlook on Skyline Drive. Looking north along the east side of Green Bay.

View from another overlook. You can see an island running parallel to the park.

Another view of the same island. There is some sort of landing or beach on the island.

There was an overlook tower at one of the scenic turnouts along Skyline Drive. If you climb to the top of the tower, you can see a sea of yellows, greens, and reds.

Fall Colors II – Harrington Beach State Park, Wisconsin

More pix from a fall colors drive.

Along the shore of Lake Michigan. It was windy and cold, but fun anyhow!

Trees along Quarry Lake. Here we see arbor vitae (of the cypress family) and birch.

Birch overhanging Quarry Lake.

View along Quarry Lake. Lovely yellows and reds.

Along Quarry Lake. The orange-red maples contrast nicely with the arbor vitae, and there is a slight reflection on the lake.

Under the maple trees along Quarry Lake.

You can the the leaves of this maple are just beginning to turn.

Fall Colors I – Buckhorn State Park, Wisconsin

Some pictures from our fall colors drives over the past couple of weeks.

A small pond with a path around it, lit by the late afternoon autumn sun:

Having fun walking along the nature path. Gorgeous fall colors:

Back from the Wild

Spent a week camping in Michigan. We didn't see any bear this time, but we did see deer and either a fox or a coyote (it darted across the road, and I caught a glimpse of it too late to tell).

Here are a few pix of our trip.
