The view from Moose Mountain, near Lutsen, MN.

Taken at Lake Maria State Park, in late September. The trees were late to turn, still mostly green!

 

Nature, up close and further away.

I used to try to pick all these up and keep them; now I just have many many pictures of fall leaves.

 

The yellow of birch trees, against the white of their trunks, are some of the best fall colors.

Birch, pine, and maples, just on the cusp of peak color.

Some dramatic, striped mushrooms growing on a fallen tree in northern MN.
