from flickr user Darcy
A cool morning with fog hanging over the nearly glassy water of a lake at Myre-Big Isalnd State Park near Albert Lea, MN with a shoreline blanketed in brilliant orange trees. Catch the last scenes like this in the coming days because we all know that autumn's splendor is fleeting and certainly won't last forever.

Minnemishinona Falls - North Mankato, MN

from flickr user Julie Thorleifson
Located just west of North Mankato, MN in a small Nicollet County park off of Nicollet County Road 41 sits the magnificent and elusive Minnemishiona Falls. Plunging a whopping 41 feet, the stream is found to be dry during many of our warmer and/or drier months but when the water is running it is quite the site to see.

Hidden Falls - Nerstrand Big Woods State Park

from flickr user WilmaKayB
A rather unique waterfall at Nerstrand Big Woods State Park east of Faribault, MN. I call it unique because it's wide, flat and short. I might have to put this one on my weekend list and check out what this park has to offer.

A shot from the Rice Creek Open Space. They recently burned off the prairie grasses to rejuvenate them and to eliminate unwanted weed species. The hummocky nature of the ground beneath the grasses is clearly visible her, along with a new growth of grass blades poking upwards.

Taken a little before sunset; the sun is low in the sky and just out of the image to the right.
