| Image 1: Road in a Door County park in Autumn |
Autumn in Door County, Wisconsin (USA) shimmers with color. Indeed, much of Wisconsin lights up with fall colors, but these images were taken during a magical weekend in Door County.

| Image 2: Tunnel of trees in Autumn in Door County |
The weather cooperated beautifully - sunny and no rain! I traveled back roads and county parks, searching for stunning foliage and trees, and tunnel views formed by trees branching over the road.

| Image 3: Road with Green and Yellow Foliage |
Around here people try to predict "peak color" for fall foliage, and on this weekend I felt peak color was imminent. There were still areas of green, and not a lot of reds. On the plus side, most of the leaves were still on the trees.

I find myself wondering if the trees turned orange and red in the days after I left. I also want to know how thickly the leaves pile up on the roads when the trees drop them.
 |
| Image 5: Red Oak leaves |
A small cluster of red caught my eye. Colorful oak leaves! As a tree enthusiast, I have felt that oak leaves don't usually turn fantastic colors. (In my experience oak leaves turn yellow or brown.) But this small cluster of oak leaves proved that on rare occasions oak leaves can turn fantastic colors.

| Image 6: Door County Barn and Grape Vines |
Door County has many picturesque places - small towns, lighthouses, harbors, buildings, restaurants, shops and more, like this barn and vineyard. Yet that weekend will stand out in my memory for the wedding I attended and the fall foliage.

Door county is a vacation area enjoyed by many, and fall is one of the busiest times. Views of another sort can be seen on crowded weekend days....
 |
| Image 8: Small Town Vacation Traffic |
(On weekends, cars trying to park in town can cause long lines of cars backed up on the roads (sometimes half an hour) when entering small towns. Sister Bay, shown above, has a population of about 1,170 people year round. Notice the fall colors beyond the town. I felt I had to disclose a more typical view of Door County as well.)
Enjoy your fall and my fall photos. I'm looking forward to the Holiday season.
I hope you enjoy the rest of 2025
and the Holiday Season!
