Gladys Collins and her hubby took a walk on the color side recently, with a trek on the Iron Ore Heritage Trail in the Marquette area. If you’re not familiar with this trail, here’s what their website says about it:

“The Iron Ore Heritage Trail is a 47-mile, year round, multi-use, interpretive trail that crosses the Marquette Iron Range in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. Call us the outdoor linear museum where you exercise your body and mind. Those who bike, walk, run, hike, ORV, snowmobile, cross country ski, birdwatch, and/or wander will find a section of trail perfect for your activity.”

Very pretty. The colors are winding down out
here. The drive home from work isn't quite as
pretty as it was. Makes me sad because we know
what comes next.

Even though I missed getting UP to see The Color this year I sincerely appreciate being able to live vicariously here. Thank you. I hope Uncle Chuck catches his share of The Color and decent weather.

The Miners picture made me immediately think of a similar statue I've walked by several times in downtown Helsinki. We nicknamed it "The Miller Time" statue. I think it was really to remind us it was time to have a Lapin Kulta. I also chose a photo that was PG rated, some are R rated.

Beautiful! Just beautiful!

The video has such perfect photography of gorgeous places! And Gladys gave us beautiful photography of the fall color. All the years i lived in Marquette i never hiked this trail. My loss!

Here we go! Luv the pix and the classic
video...music: "Cider House Rules". I'll be
watching that tonight.
