Before the water reaches the Upper Falls on the Amnicon River, it makes travels over numerous small drops and cascading rapids until the water rushes over the series of bigger falls to its final destination into Lake Superior.

The pinks and purples of the late blooming asters are adding to the range of autumn colors.

There are many creative farmers who can put together various pieces to make useful equipment like this ‘sort of tractor’ vehicle which has the front end of what appears to be a 1922 REO automobile with the rear end having tractor rear tires. The REO Motor Car Company was a Lansing, Michigan based company that produced automobiles and trucks from 1905 to 1975. (And as a side note to western movie fans, in the John Wayne movie Big Jake, the Texas Rangers were traveling in replica REOs, which were later destroyed by the bandits.)

As the sun was setting, there was several flocks of geese flying by on the horizon but they were flying north instead of heading south for the winter so maybe winter will be delayed for a bit if they know more than what the calendar suggests.

In the time period when farmers hauled their grain to the grinding mill by horse and wagon, they would often spend the entire day in town, or where the mill was located, as they waited for their flour or feed to be ground. Since many mills were powered by water, part of the day might have been spent fishing as well as doing other shopping.

I wonder if there will be some big waves hitting Devils Island and carving out more of the sea caves if 30 mph wind gusts are predicted for today. In the winter, the sea caves turn into ice caves, and both views provide an unique experience of the sandstone caves and arches.

The cattle seem to be enjoying the sunny fall day as much as I am although the grass holds their attention more than the autumn leaves which captures my eye.

I imagine, with a few nice, sunny days, there might be some fishermen trying their luck before the snow moves in. The Brule River in northern Wisconsin is a popular and an exceptional fly fishing stream and there were fishermen there yesterday catching Steelheads and Brown Trout along the forty-four mile river. The Brule River contains resident brook trout, brown trout and rainbow trout. Lake run brown trout and rainbow (steelhead) trout along with Coho and Chinook salmon migrate up the Bois Brule River annually from Lake Superior for fly fishing anglers to pursue.

It is not fun to be out in a misty, foggy day but it does provide some different captures of flowers as long as I can keep my camera dry.

A damp, rainy Monday would be more fun if enjoying the Lake Superior waves rolling into the bay than watching the wind blowing the colored leaves off the tree around here instead.
