The sunshine today helped the temperature get above freezing, but some of the roads are still have snow on them with bare trees lining the ditches. An autumn season road is warmer and more colorful to view.

This stretch of road at the tip of Door County is frequently photographed, especially in the autumn when the leaves turn color. The design of the fifteen curves are said to have been influenced by the works of architect Jens Jenson, who early in his career design what he called the ideal highway which would slow traffic and keep nature always in view.

In early October, a Sunday drive would have nice views of autumn colors but this Sunday the extremely windy night and morning has stripped most of the leaves off, even the tough oak leaves. This road would be a great sledding hill in the winter with the series of knolls plunging downward to the next one until it reaches the level of Lake Superior.

Sunny days for viewing the autumn colors were very limited this fall as today was another cloudy wet day. But rainy days can provide some colorful reflections in the water on the road.

With the recent winds, the trees are becoming bare and you would have to head farther south to find a twisty road still lined with autumn colors.

Many of the side roads are partially covered with snow and ice, especially where the trees line the roads. The roads are now adorned with white snow but in the fall, they are decorated with a variety of colors.

It is finally above zero this morning, still not above freezing, but at least the wind isn’t howling causing the extreme wind chills so I imagine there will be people out skiing today. I still rather take a walk in the woods when the trees aren’t bare as they seem so lifeless during the winter dominant phase. Autumn signifies the bare stage of winter is approaching but I love the last hurrah the colored leaves give before making their way to the ground.

The winds yesterday left stripped almost all leaves off the trees except for a very few oaks, when normally the oaks hang on much longer into the winter, so I think winter will be a very long, tough road and a long time before there are leaves on the trees again.
