Along the Mississippi River

My family and I drove 15 minutes north of Eagan into St. Paul on a perfect, sunny, Saturday afternoon. Blues skies and 63 degrees! We hiked along the Mississippi River in Crosby Farm Park and these were the two best photos.

Looks like very different weather to the Autumn we're having! This time of year is usually great for using a polariser, but we haven't had blue skies for weeks!! Nice shot of the river.

Very nice, Safe Leif. And I can just hear that tree crying out, "Please Safe Leif, all our leafs are gone, can't you just leaf us alone?"

How wonderful to see that 15' are able to provide such a sight - compared to the hours one needs over here to see something alike.

A wonderful week for you all.

the crisp sky and those barren branches describe it all ... sounds and look wonderful, Leif.

the word for thank you in Bahasa Indonesia is "terima kasih" if you'd like to add that to your thank you collection.

Beautiful autumn landscape. I knew Mississippi is one of the longest rivers in US but I had no idea it starts in Minnesota. Learning something new every day :)
