I like going for walks in the woods at my favorite rustic park in Minnesota.

All photos are my own, with no editing and no AI. I'm not comfortable doing reposts, so I do them rarely.

My only trip to the park this month was after work one Friday. On this visit these were the only colorful leaves still attached to a tree.

Only a month ago we still had color on the trees.
A leaf-covered trail moves uphill and turns to the right at a yellow tree. Thin tree trunks are on both sides of the trail. The leaves at the lower level are green. October 21, 2025

The wind tore them from the trees, but the leaves retained their beauty.

I'll choose a yellow leaf road over a yellow brick road every time.
The trail makes a turn to the left. It is covered with yellow leaves from the twin maples. Green leaves are still visible on the lower level plants on both sides of the trail. The sky is overcast. October 31, 2025

The October prairie meets the woods. Since the temps are supposed to be in the mid-60's on Friday, I plan on visiting the park for the first time this month.
Brown prairie grasses in the lower half, autumn trees in the upper center and right side. Cloudy rainy sky in the upper left corner. The trees are mostly bare with one tree in the middle with golden brown leaves. October 31, 2025

I don't know when the farmer mowed a border around the retired field, but it was sometime after wildflower season in late August. I wish I had found this on a nice day instead of a windy and rainy one. Something new to explore in the future.
A grass trail is on the left with trees on the right. The trees range from yellow to green to dusty brown and orange. Tall brown prairie grasses on both sides of the mowed trail. Clouds full of rain in the upper left corner. October 31, 2025
