Just one of the many photos I took yesterday while hiking and taking in the spectacular hues of the northern Minnesota landscape. This solitary maple leaf, gently cradled in a bed of spiky groundcover, seemed to bleed red from its veins, so saturated it was with the changing colors of the season.

You’ve got to love those red leaves at this time of year! I would have never thought of “saturated” describing them, but will from now on.

Along the big Lake they are just starting — really should be pretty in the next week or two. But inland up the Shore is just gorgeous!

Now that’s a leaf going out in style, Kat. Mid Michigan is starting to see the first of the leaves changing color – and I think this is my favorite time of year. Hope all is well in MN!

Fall is my favorite season, too — always never long enough before the snow flies, though! Just love the details of the changing season.
