Autumn in Wisconsin - Fall Colors

 Maple tree outside our back door

Today I thought I'd just post a few photos from around the yard, which I took on Sunday. I think our color here in NW Wisconsin was at its peak.  The maples, oaks, birch, poplar, and evergreens make a gorgeous landscape this time of year!

 

Purple Aster

I couldn't believe it when these showed up this year. Most asters I've planted in the past were not hardy to zone 3 where we live.  I'm going to cover these with leaves and hope they can survive the winter.

The rudbeckia are mostly dead, but the impatiens were covered at night to gain a few more days of enjoyment.

September 20

I never tire of this view from our deck, especially when the fog is still hovering in the low spots. It always reminds me of flannelgraph lessons at Good News Club when I was a kid. Doesn't it look like any minute Miss Gustafson could step in front of the scene and place a few people on the road or in the field?

What could be more beautiful than the colors of fall with the accompanying sunny, cool and crisp days!

What an amazing Creator you are, Lord! Thank you for sharing all this beauty with us.
