Beth Jukuri is a rural mail carrier with a route from Chassell to Tapiola and I'd venture to say she probably has the best office scene around. Her window view here today is simply amazing with all the colors, including that of the blue, cloud filled sky, both out the window and reflected in her mirror.
When I mentioned the view out her "office" window being quite unique, Beth replied, saying: "This fall has been spectacular! When you travel the same roads over and over six days a week, you have to look for uniqueness or it becomes too routine…how lucky I am that the scenes change colors."
She gets to enjoy the beauty of all four seasons here in the Keweenaw from the window in her office. What a lucky lady! Although I'm guessing that the white season coming next, must be a challenge for her office on wheels, it is all part of the unique view she enjoys day today.

I'm with you, Shirley!
I could even hand the next clump of mail to Beth to make myself useful!
It's nice to ride the side roads seeing colors red and gold. Not so much in winter when it's gray and white and cold. I am a mixed fan of Michigan State and Michigan. I root for Michigan in football and Michigan State in basketball. Probably because the b-ball coach is a Yooper.

How frustrating. All they had to do was snap the ball and run with it for a few seconds. Sigh!

Nice perk, I'd even feel good about handing out bills. :-) I work in an inner office with no windows, so this job seems like a dream come true. That's just one of the many reasons why I like Pasty so much, it's my window to the outside world during the day.

Keep those beautiful Autumn color photos coming! And hope everyone in Keweenaw country had a happy Sweetest Day.

Alex, as usual you crack me up! Feeling good about handing out bills - LOL!! But working in a space with no windows, it's completely understandable! :)

I forgot to add, nice pics. You mail persons have my respect - in sun, sleet, rain or snow, the mail must go through! And along the way you get to witness the seasons, which all have their unique beauty. Stay safe this winter in those snow storms!
