Autumn wanes in the Illinois River Valley

An idyllic late October day in O-Town.

Fall is in the air!

I have always wanted to see the fall colors up in northern Wisconsin, but my visits to Bayfield always coincided with "Old Last Night" at the Lake Superior Big Top Chautauqua, which takes place the weekend after Labor Day. And unfortunately, the autumn foliage isn't in its full glory up there until a few weeks later, so I would always just miss it. Well, it looks like I will finally get my chance this year! ;-)
