This and That: Some of the last Autumn Photos

It snowed again here last night...another four or five inches!! But, it is already starting to melt.

And this weekend?

We are supposed to get back up to the 50's and have sunny weather.

Such is life in the autumn in the U.P. of Michigan.

So, before we have all white (that doesn't melt away), I am posting some of the photos I took over the last month before all the leaves fell off the trees.

This is our house.

It is our "back"yard, taken from the lake, looking back up at our house:

You know from my last posts that I love a winding road full of color.

So whenever we ride out into the woods, if we reach a curve I can't resist, my poor hubby has to stop the truck and let me out to photograph it.

Let's just say he stops a lot. :-)

And I have been waiting and waiting to catch a moose in the wild to photograph.

I haven't found one yet.

Sigh.

Does this count?:

Yes, that was NOT a deer track.

It is a moose track.

But, he didn't stay and wait for me.

Dang.

Yellow woods:

And my favorite: orange and red leaves!:

Another bend in the colored woods:

Our skies this time of year get dark and stormy.
I call them "snow clouds" because many, many times after we see a sky like this, it snows the following night.
I liked the stormy skies contrasted with the colorful road:




And against this old dried up beaver pond scene:

And yes.

Yet another colorful bend in the road!:

Oh.

And more red, yellow and orange leaves:

I can't believe all this color is gone now.

But I refuse to grieve.

I choose to focus on how beautiful a season it was, over and over again by looking at my photos.

That way, it never dies...
