Intense colors. The turn around and take a picture kind of early fall colors.

Along Highway 2 west of Iron River Wisconsin.

This tree in it's setting was so brilliant that I simply had to turn around and go back  and photograph it.

The colors along US 2 between Ino WI and Maple WI were fabulous. Although they have not reached peak they are well on their way.  

We went Elk hunting today. Clam Lake Wisconsin.

 We took a ride to Clam Lake Wisconsin. We tried to get an Elk in the crosshairs viewfinder. 

Clam Lake Elk Herd.

 This is as close as we got to anything with antlers.

 Earlier in the day we stopped at Perch Lake campground. This photo was shot from the boat launch. The campground was empty and very peaceful.

 It's going to be a couple of days (180-200) before there will be any fly fishing in this part of the country.

 Well if it's going to be ice lets get going if I can't fly fish then ice fishing will do just fine.

This small walking bridge and waterfall was the only photographic opportunity we saw along Highway 77 west of Clam Lake. No Elk, no birds, little or no wildlife.
