A few photos from this year's autumn in northern Wisconsin.
I made 2 trips to Juniper Rock, an overlook along the North Country Trail in Ashland County. It's one of my favorite spots to visit in the fall.
On September 27th the colors were just starting to change, somewhat late for our area. But there were pockets of colors here and there. Driving through the endless miles of forest I came across a road called "Lovers Lane" where the trees are tall and touching each other - what an appropriate name! Mostly Maple trees, they were still green. So I knew I wanted to come back later in the season.
I also stopped at Morgan Falls and was surprised to see such a low water level. This allowed me to take photos of the falls from a different angle.
The second trip to Juniper Rock was on October 6th, on my way back from visiting northern Minnesota. It was raining a little while I was there and the fall colors were very vibrant. The wind had already knocked off a lot of leaves.
Next stop was Lovers Lane again - I was anticipating a golden tunnel but to my surprise there was still a lot of green.
I enjoyed my time in the colorful forest of northern Wisconsin. As I am typing this on October 14th we are having the first snow of the season accumulating outside.
Enjoy, Susanne
