Deb and Ron Simons were visiting Deb's Mom here UP North and made the drive out to Freda where her Dad grew up. Along the way they stopped and Ron (Mr. Deb) snapped up some beautiful shots of the changing colors lining the Covered Road. I love how the sun and the bright yellow leaves seem to illuminate the roadway, just as if there were some lights showing you the way.

The photos looking UP are pretty amazing, too, with the blue sky background and then those bright colored leaves backlit by the sun. Pretty spectacular in my book!

The last picture is quite interesting to see those Maple leaves in the midst of changing color. Pretty neat that the veins of the leaves are still dark green, making them stand out from the yellow the leaf is becoming.

Nature is pretty amazing any time of year, but the beauty just bursts in the fall.

What spectacular photographs. Ron and Deb: Thanks for sharing
those wonderful pics with us. I'll bet it was hard for you to leave the
U.P. It always is, isn't it?

That was a fun day! We got some great pictures that day. Thanks for sharing them, Mary. Wish you could have all been there with us.

It was hard to leave, Kosk, but this time we did a lot of sightseeing while we were there. So beautiful this time of year.

Deb & Ron -- thanks so much; what outstanding photos! It's been way too long since I've been down that road. I love the blueberry color you captured in the road itself!

Thank you for the great photos, Deb, Ron, and Mary! Deb and Ron did you happen to get some photos of the covered road outside of Copper Harbor, US 41?

Was looking forward to seeing Deb's pictures!

Ahhh, to only be there! This is the next best thing!

No, Marianne, we didn't. And thanks for all the feedback. It was BEAUTIFUL!!

But, we took the Gay/Lac La Belle road out to Mt. Bohemia and took the ski lift to the top to see the colors that way. Absolutely breathtaking from up there. Ordinarily we would have gone back through Copper Harbor and the M-26 lakeshore drive, but it was late and we had to get back to my mom. So this is the first time we've missed that. A friend had just been there, though, and the colors were great there, too.

Autumn scenes make great pictures!

Beautiful, Ron & Deb!!! Glad you had a wonderful trip UP there.:)

Deb, those ski lift pictures were beautiful! They were my favorites!

We just drove Covered Road last week. It was beautiful!

I was just through there about a month ago with Zman's Aunt Verna. We were having a great time going from the old homestead back to her place in Atlantic Mine! We went round and round a few times, but the day was enjoyable!
