Autumn Colors

Was a beautiful day today, 76 degrees, and it has been a fantastic week. With the Pagami Creek Fire reportedly 70% contained, it is much more relaxing to soak in the amazing fall colors of the Gunflint Trail. What an amazing place. Dad says the colors are as vibrant as they have been in years, and Mom says the colors were real nice on her trek to Two Harbors this week.

The various shades of yellow, orange, and red than you ever dreamed possible and more than our camera can handle. With only a little wind one afternoon you can see some places that have dropped their leaves - but there are thousands of more areas on their way to full color right behind any patches that have fallen to the forest floor.

One thing is for certain, no two car trips on the Trail are identical these days. As these photos from the same journey show, the views change each minute and around every curve. Reminds us all that nature provides the ultimate canvas, and it is Good!
