Danielle Adams does more than drive around looking for freighters to photograph, although that's a big interest she has, she also travels on the backroads UP North here to check out what can be found along the way. On this particular drive, Danielle encountered a doe on the fringes of the forest, just watching her to see if she was a threat or not. The deer looks ready to flee, should Danielle pull anything out to shoot the doe, besides her camera.

The second photo was taken back behind Atlantic Mine, on Harma and Superior Roads. This was just about a week ago, so there's still plenty of color at that point. Since then, we've lost a good number of the leaves, due to the wind, rain and even a bit of snow here and there. There's still come color left in places, but for the most part, the trees are looking pretty gray or mostly yellow leaves seem to be what's left. You can still find a few trees that are holding onto their leaves, too, so it's not over yet.

Another stop Danielle made was up at North Entry, where she was treated to the arrival of the Ranger III on one of her final trips to Isle Royale to bring the crews and supplies back for the season. This time of year, Lake Superior makes the crossing from Isle Royale quite unpredictable, as the Big Lake gets stirred up for weeks at a time when the winds are blowing. More and more each day, we're seeing the days drawing closer to that cold season approaching.

A lot of beautiful Autumn scenery in the Keweenaw.

Nice looking doe...thanks for the pix! Getting excited, UC?
...and thanks for the fall color update, Mary.

That looks like 'my' deer and 'my' woods.;) Have seen one of 'my' fawns a couple of times lately but not the 'mom'....maybe she's in hiding at this 'time of year'.;>

Doe, a deer!

A female deer, lol!!

Very nice, Danielle. I always enjoy your pictures!!

'Re, a drop of golden sun.':) Which we have right now in the Ohio Valley, but with a forecast of t-storms tomorrow, so there goes more Autumn leaves.:(

Me. A name I call myself. Fa, a long long way from OH to the Keweenaw to run. :) With the t storms coming tomorrow it's great to be able to see the colors The Pasty Cam provides every year! Thanks guys! Maybe next year I'll make it UP there! Keep 'em coming!

Thanks for all three photos, Danielle. What an AWESOME shot of the Ranger III! I have never seen that boat look so alive. There's pure joie de vivre in that image!

Second picture, "Country Road"...'take me home'...yesterday was the fifteenth anniversary of our loss of John Denver.
Abrupt end to some mighty fine music...

sol...a needle pulling thread. la.....a not to follow sol. ti....a drink with jam and bread!!! Nothing like jams made with the luscious berries from the Copper Country!! My favorite........thimbleberry!!

"... to the place I belong ..."

I agree, Gormfrog!

Thanks! I drove around for a few hours on the 4th before I had to go to work, thats when I found out all this crappy weather was coming our way so I made several stops taking pictures of the pretty fall colors :)

'...West Virginia, mountain....'
This site has become a melodious place today.;o

Gormfrog: Thank you!! Listening to that music of John Denver is so good for the soul! :-)

Listening to Country Roads right now, thanks to my music I have down loaded on my computer.

Thank God I'm A Country Boy and Calypso are my other favorites from John Denver.

Calypso was my favorite, with Country Roads running a close second.
Danielle, it looks like you stirred up some music memories.:)

Its funny, always thought that the first line about
"almost heaven, West Virginia" meant how much John
Denver liked that area.

Then found out a friend's youth group from church
takes Easter Break every year to go on a mission to
help build homes in Almost Heaven, West Virginia!
That's the actual name of the village where they go.
Very cool!

"FAR OUT!" JD's famous saying!

Alex, looking forward to the trip in Nov. & hanging out with my good friend Marty. As far as shooting a deer... Marty would shoot one, me, I just like being in the woods & Keweenaw and sight seeing, couldn't shoot one myself. If I had to do it to feed my family, that would be different I guess. I will however, have my pistols with me for a little target practice.

Not being able to go to LB anymore still ticks me off. We'll being staying at the Americinn in Calumet probably. Gonna mix in a little work with this trip to make it worth while. Have to go to the Soo, Marquette and Escanaba as well.

Time to get ready for the Tiger game, TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS BOYS!!!! BEAT THE YANKS!

My favorite John Denver song has always been Annies'Song. I like
all the others,too.

Guess I'll post what looks like the end of the notes for today with "That will bring us back to 'doe'!"

'a deer' ;)
