“Through the lens in autumn, I see more than color—I see the steady faithfulness of the One who ordains every season.”

Autumn in the Northland paints the landscape in deep reds, glowing oranges, and rich gold. The air turns crisp, daylight softens, and the Northland begins its gentle preparation for winter.

September arrives with quiet change. Hillsides shift from green to amber, evenings call for warm layers, and migrating geese echo across the sky. The lake reflects calmer light, and subtle color touches the forests—an early hint of what is to come.

October sets the land ablaze. Maples, birches, and aspens shimmer against Superior’s deep blue waters. Scenic drives, wooded trails, and rocky overlooks become unforgettable. Morning fog drifts through sheltered bays, and the scent of fallen leaves lingers in the cool air. It is a season of bold, breathtaking beauty that never lasts quite long enough.

By November, stillness settles in. Leaves release their final hold, frost silvers the mornings, and gray skies stretch toward the horizon. The landscape quiets, offering a softer, reflective kind of beauty..

Autumn in the Northland invites us to slow down, breathe deeply, and give thanks for the changing season—finding joy not only in brilliant color, but in the peaceful transitions that follow.
