There is something magical about the glow of the morning light during sunrise.

A wonderful start to a beautiful day.  High temps reaching near 70 degrees, sunshine and a light breeze.  Autumn is very good to us this year.

Fall Color

It’s a beautiful time of year in the Midwest.  The leaves are changing color.  The evenings are crisp and cool.  We need to enjoy it while it lasts because winter is just around the corner. Here’s a slice of Northern Minnesota from the past week.

I brought my camera with me to work on Friday in the hopes of stopping by Bayfront Park at some point to see the hot air balloons at the Balloon Festival.  Due to weather conditions and a crazy work day, I never had the chance to see the balloons or even make it away from my desk.  I did stop by Canal Park on my way into work to take pictures of a ship sitting out in Lake Superior.  There was wonderful morning sunlight on the ship as I was making my way to Canal Park, but by the time I got there, the gray skies took over.

As I was leaving my office much later that day, the dark clouds of the morning were overtaken by bright sunlight.  This ship was just going out of the harbor as I was headed home for the day.

The beautiful sunshine stayed for most of the weekend as we ushered in fall.  I can’t wait to get out and capture some of the autumn colors in the coming weeks.
