This fall I had fun sneaking away from work during the afternoon to “hunt trees.” Fall color came late to Bayfield this year, which was nice because we actually had (some) time to enjoy it! This first one is one of my very favorite trees in Bayfield, up on 5th street by the old courthouse building.
Here is the courthouse. My parents, Jerry and Mary Phillips, helped save this building from the wrecking ball in 1976.
A few more from the courthouse property (now the home of the Apostle Islands National Lakeshore Headquarters).
This one is right next to our Rittenhouse Cottage. It always seems to get about half-colored, with the north side staying pretty green.
Up at the cemetary there are some really brilliant red trees….
A little slice of road I like to drive most days.
Couldn’t believe how brilliant these were even on a cloudy day. I’m not sure what these things are called…?
A real beauty down by the Madeline Island Ferry Line on Washington Avenue.
This is an awesome tree in the little park between 3rd and Broad on Rittenhouse Ave. I’m not sure if it looks more like Wisconsin or Venom from the Spiderman comics.
LOVE love love these trees and took many sequences to try to capture them on a pretty day. The traffic was not cooperating but I finally got some shots.
A pretty little park on Manypenny Avenue.
Across the street from Old Rittenhouse Inn.
Nice little cluster of autumnal fire
Him just a wittle guy! But he’s gonna be a beaut when he grows up.
Nice little slice of color on 8th Street.
This guys is just blazing big time
I liked this one because it looks like an explosion!
Last one. I liked the composition on this one, with the road leading off to the foggy lake.
Thanks so much for checking out our Bayfield, WI Fall Color picks! Hope you enjoyed them, and do come visit us sometime during the fall color. You won’t regret it!
