I love Maplewood this time of year. I was there about 3 days past prime, but I still found the colors to be exceptional this year there. I think the prime fell during the week like on a Monday Tuesday. Hard for some of us working stiffs to get a break sometimes, unless you like me and drive around with your camera all day at work, too bad I never find the right spot very often. LOL

Nice images though, Were you fishing Beers? I saw probably a dozen boats our there 2 weeks ago on a friday afternoon when I went through.

Thank you guys. No, Paul, I haven't fished Beers yet this fall and may not. The walleyes have been pretty cooperative on another nearby larger lake.
