Golden Sunset on Lake Superior

 

It was a cold and windy sunset the other night on the Lake Superior shoreline but amazingly beautiful! The waves were putting on a nice show illuminated by the setting sun as they broke upon the rocks. 

Colorful November Sunset

 

Beautiful sunset over Lake Superior this evening. The colors and wisps of clouds were really interesting. 

Early Winter on Swamp River

 

A cold November day on Swamp River in Grand Portage State Forest.  Located in northeast Minnesota, Grand Portage State Forest is one of my favorite places to explore. It offers rugged terrain and amazing scenery and lots of opportunities for spotting a variety of wildlife. It's a beautiful place any time of the year. 

November Redpoll

 

Caught this cute little fellow while out for a drive in the woods on Veteran's Day. There were several more in the area but this is the only one that was willing to sit still long enough for a picture. 

Early Winter Beaver

 

On a snowy afternoon in late autumn, this beaver was enjoying what could be the last bit of open water that it sees for quite a while.
