High Tide On The Mississippi River

Everything looks good on the Mississippi River, way up here in Minnesota. Our lock and damn system is working great to create the pools of water needed to keep the river from drying out. There aren't however, any lock and damns after Missouri.

Fall Colors On The Mississippi

Fall is here in the Twin Cities. Can you spot the difference from my last posted photo?

Birch Tree Garden

 

The leaves are just starting to change colors here in Cottage Grove and all over the Twin Cities. 

Up The River

The northern view up the St Croix River in Taylors Falls.

Maple Leaves

Colorful reds from the Maple trees.

Colorful River Banks

The fall colors are fading fast as the season changes into winter. I took this Autumn capture a couple of weeks ago in Taylors Falls. I would bet that the trees are looking very bare with very little leaves remaining on the branches.

Tree Change

Change In Seasons

I'm going to jump back a couple months to the beginning of the colorful fall weather. One of my dislikes about taking photos of snow is, the photos all tend to appear black and white, when the intent is a color photo.

Fall Colors At The Pond

Make Like A Tree, And Leaf

Yep, it's fall here, the leaves are changing fast. This photo was taken about a week ago. Since then, about half of the leaves have fallen off the tree and it's becoming more bare by the day. I think I hear my rake calling me.

My 3 Daily Photo Favorites:

1 Year Anniversary For Twin Cities Daily Photo

Today is officially one full year of the Twin Cities Daily Photo. I've really enjoyed getting out and seeing the Twin Cities in a way that I wasn't seeing the Twin Cities.

I took this photo in the fall of 2006. It was during my son's football practice. It was their final day of football and they were playing a game of flag football. It his grade, the do not put the pads on and play a real game, that will be next fall. My son is actually not in this photo, but I liked the angle and the trees in the background.
