This week, Amy is looking at the Colors of Autumn as our topic for the Lens-Artists Photo Challenge. I wanted to share pictures that I had taken recently rather than delving back into the photo files to come up with images that have probably been used several times already, but it’s a little too early for fall color in our neck of the woods just yet. However, we were up in Minnesota on the second day of Autumn last week when we stopped off at the Silver Creek Cliff Overlook, part of the Gitchi-Gami State Trail. There were traces of autumn hues in the trees and the many different colors of rocks on the cliff face combined with a blue sky mirrored in the waters of Lake Superior made a very colorful scene.
The Nature of Things 
Awesome landscape pictures! Great geological formations, Sue!
Thank you, Indira. The rock formations more than made up for the lack of autumn color when we were there. I imagine in another week the trees will be in all their glory.
Enjoyed your recent travel captures, Sue. The formations of these rocks are amazing! The little white house on the rock is my favorite. The blue sky and lake are breathtaking. Thank you for taking us there!
Thank you, Amy! We managed to see quite a lot in just four days so I’m hoping to have the opportunity to share more pics.
Green trees, blue skies reflecting in the water, and stunning rock formations – a perfect combination. Lovely set of photos.
Thank you so much! One of those unplanned stops along the road to somewhere else that really paid off.
You captured touches of orange and yellow beautifully. Best, are the rock formations. They are amazing, especially when a young tree is growing out of a rock.
Many thanks, Anne! Isn’t it amazing how life can take hold in the most unlikely places.
Excellent. I love all the rock face.
Many thanks, John!
Beautiful and all the rock formations. 🙂
Thank you, Lily!
This overlook is a true find. I love the textures, colors, everything. Thanks for sharing it with us this week.
Thank you! I could easily have spent more time there, taking pictures, although I must admit the sign warning of falling rocks gave us food for thought.
I’d feel the same way!
I love the rocks and overlooking the water, Sue. You had a wonderful trip. Thank you for sharing the photos.
Thank you, Miriam! It’s been quite a while since we’ve taken a road trip and I was ready to take pictures of anything and everything.
I know, Sue. We haven’t taken any road trips, but August was the first time after two years hubby and I went on a vacation in Santa Barbara, CA (other than going to Portland, OR to visit my grandkids).
Great views, Sue!
Many thanks, Jyothi
A very interesting approach this week Sue. Not much seasonal difference among the rocks but they are glorious just as they are!
Thank you, Tina!
Great images..I love seeing faces on these rocks.
Thank you so much, Anita! I was thinking the same thing, that I could catch a glimpse of a face in the rocks.
