The Final Fall Pictures!


Yes my final fall pictures are here. I just can not believe the end of the beautiful colors has come to an end. While we were up north Drew's parents had let me know about a different pine tree. In this picture above is a Tamarack Tree on Hwy DD in Pickeral Wi.. The needles are very short and very soft. This tree is green in the spring and summer and turns yellow in the fall. I am so thankful for mom and dad for letting me know about the Tamarack Tree they seen another picture of this tree on another post to let me know.


This picture is on Hwy W in the town of Doty by were my mom use to live. Yes it was raining up north all weekend. I just could not believe the fall colors were still up there but some trees are bare up there too.


This picture was taken on Hwy 55 in the Menominee Reservation. Yes I stopped in on the road to take this picture because it looks like a tunnel of fall colors you are going under. It was so pretty when we went back and forth to town I knew this was one picture I had to get.


Drew told me to add this picture because it does show the fall color of the tree in the back and no leaves on the tree with the Bald Eagle. This picture was taken on Hwy 55 by Lily Wi.. To get this picture I made a u-turn in the middle of the road. Drew asked me what I was doing and I told him I think I seen an Eagle in the tree. Sure enough that is what I seen and we had gotten some beautiful pictures of him. He started to get skiddish so I went and turned around to get back to the house. The next day when we went to the hospital to say goodbye to my son and his girlfriend my son told me an Eagle swooped down and went past him. I believe to this day that was my dad telling my son congratulations for his son. My son believes the same thing.

I hope everyone has enjoyed the fall colors as much as I have taking the pictures to share with you. Please feel free to leave your comments!

Wonderful pictures, THB. The Tamarack tree is in the Larch family. "The Larch" was a recurring theme in some early Monty Python's Flying Circus scenes. I cannot see a Larch today without thinking about that skit.

How nice that you can just photograph an eagle. They're beautiful creatures.

This was the seventh or eighth eagle we have seen so far this year. I was just gazing along the roadway looking for Wild Turkey when Tender Heart saw the eagle. It pays to take a glance at the trees as well as the roadsides.

It's also better to have two sets of eyes looking instead of one.

THB....I enjoyed your pics and I believe you about Dad saying congratulations in the form of the eagle. I lost 2 loved ones of my immediate family in the same year
and I am certain they both appeared
together in the form of Hawks that landed on the railing of my deck.

Talk about a small world. I have relatives in that area. The drive on 47/55 is beautiful. I followed a native american on 47 once and he drove it like it was the grand prix.

Wild turkey can be trouble in the far ne part of the state.

Annonymous- Where at up north are your relatives? We seen about about three dozen wild turkey's last weekend while we were up north. Drew has pictures of the wild turkeys, 3 deer and 2 eagles.

BL- I am glad that you do understand what I am talking about.

I just want to thank everyone for the comments.

Antigo, Merrill, Pelican Lake & Crandon. Near the UP border by Iron Mountain, I saw about 20 turkeys on the road shoulder. Relatives up there say they are becoming an issue like the deer in the roads.

Neat that you got a picture of a bald eagle.
