Farewell to Autumn 2021

Some highlights of the autumn season 2021 which seemed very short and not as brilliant as in other years, here in northern Wisconsin (Rusk County). 

The photos are starting out in mid September through the end of October. The month of October was unusually warm and dry. We had the first hard freeze on Oct. 22nd - a month later than usual. But what is normal anymore?? I sure enjoyed fresh garden tomatoes that late in the season!

Thanks for viewing. And I hope you are enjoying the photos of my "Autumn tour".

Fall trip up North with puppy Shanti, part 3

The day started out with another amazing Lake Superior sunrise at the Temperance River campground. It was almost like 2-3 sunrises as the sun would disappear behind clouds and come out again.

I went for a hike along the Temperance River taking photos of the gorge and waterfalls. The water level was low which showed more of the rock formations. 

Shanti wasn't much into hiking and Bill stayed behind with him, talking to people on the trail. Then all of a sudden he perked up and got the "Zoomies" - digging in dirt and jumping in the river like a mad man! He seemed very proud of his muddy self! I had to give him a Lake Superior Spa treatment before we packed up and headed home.

We stopped briefly at Palisade Head and enjoyed the spectacular view in the distance and along the shoreline of Lake Superior.

Shanti did so well on this trip so I got him a new (used) teddy bear!

Thanks for viewing. And I hope you are enjoying the photos of our trip.
