TBT: FOLLOWING THE SIGNS

Even when one lives in the woods, a change of scenery is always welcome and with the limited warmer days, it's a must to take advantage of them.

We returned to Scenic Bluffs State Park, one of Natureman's favorite parks.  It's  across the river but took a little longer to arrive as road construction gave us a little detour due to closed ramps. Determination, no signs got us back to the park with  plenty of time to  enjoy the beautiful afternoon filled with fall colors and a walk in the woods...

There were only 3 cars in the section of the park we visited and those park visitors were enjoying their picnic lunches when we arrived so we had the trails to the overlooks to ourselves. But there were signs to remind all about social distancing. As a linguist it was not lost on me the efforts to  ensure the term narrow trail was not only in English but for Spanish  and Hmong speaking visitors as well...

And when Natureman took my hand I wasn't sure if it was the sign / just an endearing moment...

One did have to pay attention to the knarly tree roots crossing the well travelled paths.  

The temp was ideal walking weather and the vistas between the trees and overlooks were breathtaking with the fall colors. 

As you can see light played on both the leaves and the trunks of the trees in the afternoon sun.

We had the vantage point being 600 ft above the Upper Mississippi River National Wildlife and Fish Refuge and the Black River Delta which are flanked by the eastern bluffs of the Mississippi River in the State of Wisconsin.

We took a different way home and enjoyed passing through the quaint town of Nodine, Minnestota.

As always I am reminded how fortunate we are to live in such a beautiful part of the country.

Stay tuned for my favorite photo of our Miata jaunt in tomorrow's FOTO FRIDAY...
