More Awe-inspiring U.P. Color!

If you missed my last blogpost,

drop below this one to see

more autumn pictures of the U.P.

The last blogpost highlighted

some pictures

from Brockway Mountain Drive

near Copper Harbor, Michigan.

Today,

we have more of the same for you!

There was a beaver pond

that I could see

from the top

of Brockway Mountain

So I zoomed in

with my zoom lens for

some closeups:

There is just something

about

the raw beauty of a wild beaver pond:

Most of the year, beaver ponds

are teaming with wildlife.

Unfortunately, I couldn't spot any

from this high up!:

The pond was narrow and long...

and I imagined it full of ducks migrating through

and maybe some brook trout.

But I thought I'd better not climb down THIS far

to catch it all with my camera:

A few days later,

we took some local woods' roads

to find some close-up

and personal autumn color.

We weren't disappointed!:

Again, depending on where

we went,

the autumn color was in different stages

and

different blends of colors.

Some had more oranges or more reds..

or were still a mix of green and yellows:

It is all so fleeting...

I think that is why I am always

SO AMAZED

at

nature's beauty.

It gives us little glimpses of heaven...

one

piece

at

a

time.....

I hope you

see

glimpses

of

heaven

whereever

you

are

today, too.
