Crab Lake
Basking in the morning sun, before it was time go home.

On Oyster Lake behind the campfire.

Kinda funny; we live in Minnesota and are currently visiting New Hampshire. We are tripping in New England to see the fall colors here. While it is beautiful country and we are enjoying it, Northern Minnesota has every bit a nice of fall color.
Sometimes we have to go away to really appreciate what we have at home.

I have no fall BW pictures to offer :- (
But I do look forward to seeing everyone else's :- )

Inlet Bay,Quetico..this is about the only red maple leaf i

Isabella Lake--look real close and you might see the bald eagle speck on the dead tree in the center of the frame.

Taken by White Iron ..and.. A fated poplar on Lower Pauness--it was chewed halfway through by a beaver so that was it's last fall before it falls ;) I had too many to choose from so these are just a couple extra that I wanted to share.

Prettypaddle--
i really like the "up the tree"shot..most of the time i just
shoot from the canoe or walk up to something for a photo..
i'll steal that idea----

---steal away =)

A pleasant afternoon for a hike in the BW.

most unbelieveable color i have ever seen.

Ensign Lake this year. Pictures just don't do the colors justice.

Hudson Rapids - Mid September shot

Pine Lake Last week of September 07. This picture was taken after a hail storm. The fishing was amazing for about an hour after the storm!!

Here's a shot early morning on Lake Hudson about a week and a half ago. Still some color left on the trees but I think I missed the peak color by about a week.

One of the portages between unnamed lakes on the way from Brent to Earl, Quetico, late September 2005. O Canada!

By the way, I vote for greenydd's foto . . . wow!

some real knock out photos!!!--canoe season up north ends
for me by the last week of August..now that i'm retired i'll have
too try and get up later in the year--

Trail rider,i love the pics and everybody elses too!!

Uh oh, looks like trailrider's multiple pic posts got deleted (along with kanoe's heckling). I liked the pics, trailrider, but maybe it wasn't appropriate to post so many in the contest thread. Pic one, post it, and link to your album with an invitation to see the others there. I'd look, they're good pics.

Journeyman, your picture looks like a painting not a photograph.

As Ho Ho said, you are more than welcome to post them or link to them in another thread. I like to keep this thread clean so that when we have to vote at the end of each month we don't have to sift through non entries. Great pictures though!

oops, sorry =)

I posted those pics for fun. The pic that greenydd posted is not from the BWCA or Q so I figured it was open. No hard feelings and Adam knows I'm a photo nut. I wish kanoes would mind his own business but it's all in good fun. Thanks for the nice comments. If you all have time, here's more. http://community.webshots.com/user/jonwood100

ok...i'll try this again. this pic IS in the bwca. bower trout lake a few years ago.

Nina Moose River, Mid-September 2007

scrubb...is this at the entry to nina moose? ive never seen water that high anywhere on the nina moose!

It looks like the first portage after you get on the river. Am I right? Very high indeed.

If memory serves, Mr. Barley is correct. About 10 rods into the first portage after Nina Moose Lake, down the river, there's a turnout to a rock outcropping. I took the shot on that outcropping. We had paddled against the current from Oyster Lake, and yes, the water was high, and moving fast. Made for a long last day out.

This was after about 15 inches of rain in September, I think.

Portage into Fairy Lake Sept. 07.

Pretty paddle on a fall day =)

Little Indian Sioux. I've other pictures where the fall colors may be more stunning, but I like this one the best! That's another member of this forum in the bow, by the way...
