There is a classic New Yorker Magazine cover cartoon which gives a New Yorker’s view of America. I live in “Fly Over Land” and as you can plainly see, Minnesota is not even on the map! I think we are up next to Canada.
This afternoon I took a bike ride in Fly Over Flat Lands. My 12.89 mile ride has 580 feet of climbing, and a fantastic 3.33 mile long descent. I love my flat lands! The two road photos are from either side of my ride’s pinnacle … looking back towards the Boreal Forest and then down towards Lake Superior … same road … same ride.
Earlier this morning a very cooperative Red-Bellied Woodpecker posed for a photo shoot. The bird moved around, but never away from me. Life is good, and I LOVE Autumn.
Love the photos.
My red-headed woodpecker adult(?s) and this year’s babes are still around. Nice other choice woodpeckers are becoming vocal again. Owls quite active in the pre-dawn times too. Turkeys galore.
Best to you and yours, Jeannette (WI neighbor)
Thanks Jeannette! I have been waiting to hear whether my own local owls, the ones which I watched raise their young this spring, will start singing their love during the dark clear nights. October is normally when that starts to happen in the Northland. Enjoy your own owls.
