Captivating Colors

Random photos of autumn colors.

The entrance to St. Olaf College, off Hwy. 19, usually has the best color in town. 10/17/25

And St. Olaf has the best potted plants…

And the best mum gardens too (at St. Olaf).

I love it when the trees have multi colors…

New to me this year…I saw this very large (probably 10 ft diameter), happy, inflatable pumpkin.

Heath Creek Trail., in Northfield. 10/17/25

Very few wildflowers in bloom…this hairy aster is a hold out.

A friendly ghost and large, inflatable black cat. Fun holiday decorations.

Bright red-oranges and yellows…down our street. 10/20/25

Evening glow over downtown Northfield. 10/20/25

Let the heavens rejoice, let the earth be glad;
    let the sea resound, and all that is in it.
Let the fields be jubilant, and everything in them;
    let all the trees of the forest sing for joy.
Psalm 96: 11-12

Doggie through the Window

Recently I was up in northern Minnesota at my friend’s cabin on Daggett Lake. We sat on the bench on her dock…to read, visit, or just sit and enjoy the lake.

We also enjoyed seeing the full moon and its refection on the lake, and going for walks, playing cards, going out to eat, and teasing the dog next door.

The Corn Moon; the nickname for September’s full moon.

Each time we saw the neighbor’s cute, little dog meander into the front yard of my friend’s cabin, we would peek through the window and knock on the glass and wave to him.

Each time this little pup jumped…and then started barking at us, and we smiled back at him. We teased him so, but he kept coming back.

I see a dog in this cloud formation…He’s laying down with his paws out in front of him, looking out.

So it was fun to see this cloud art on our way home from the cabin, reminding us of the cute, little doggie through the window on Daggett Lake.
