Breaking out the snowshoes
Beauty in the gray
I like to call this time of the year the season of darkness. The hours of daylight are getting shorter and shorter. Everything is gray and brown, and there isn’t any snow on the ground to brighten things up. It’s all a bit depressing. But maybe I need to look at it in a different way. Take away the color, even from a gorgeous sunset, and there is beauty to be seen in the gray.
I should play around with black and white photography more.

Peak colors at Governor Dodge
I took a day trip to Governor Dodge State Park the other day, where the autumn colors seemed to be at their peak.
Dancing prairie grass
On a recent hike at Cherokee Marsh, I came across a view that rivals traditional autumn color scenes.
The prairie grass, back lit by the sun, and moving from the afternoon’s strong breeze, seemed to be dancing in the spot light. Made me wish I had a video camera.
Tall grass
When you walk parts of the Edgewood boardwalk this time of year, it’s almost as if you’re walking through a trench. Your only unobstructed view is up.
Edgewood boardwalk
This is how I spent my lunch break today. Walking along the boardwalk behind Edgewood College.
The Presque Isle River
The Presque Isle River has two channels that flow into Lake Superior. The spot where the calmer one joins the big lake is a beautiful scene, especially late in the day when the sun is going down.
