Photo Friday: Fall Colors in Minnesota

Oct 24 2008

I can’t resist a few more fall photos, as the leaves are now falling fast and soon we’ll have gray and white surrounding us instead of red, yellow, and orange. We had some great fall trips around Minnesota this year, and saw a lot of beauty on the backroads.

While we were waiting for our tour at Mystery Cave, the kids played a game of hide-and-seek in the park.

This scene near Mystery Cave was beautiful, with the field already harvested, and the farm in the background.

This is the creek that runs past (and sometimes into) Mystery Cave.

And here’s the view of the river from the Historic Forestville Carnegie bridge.

To see more travel photos, head over to DeliciousBaby and check out Photo Friday.

Did you see any great fall colors this year? Is it still pretty where you are, or have the leaves all fallen off by now?

Please keep posting these. We have some color changes her in California, but these days things are mostly brown.

Your colors are so much more brilliant and varied than ours in the Detroit area. Thanks for sharing these beautiful pix!

Love the photo with the kids running. I also really like the name Mystery Cave. Sounds like something from a Nancy Drew novel.

Thanks for the great photos! I don’t get to see much autumn foliage here in Southern California, unfortunately, and these photos totally made my day!

Fall foliage is so beautiful, and so fleeting. Like your children, you have to enjoy while you can.

Gorgeous! Yesterday, I saw a bride and her bridesmaids posing under a tree on a carpet of red leaves. Stunning.
