Watery Wednesday - Lake Views in Bernheim Forest

Yesterday I loaded up dog and camera and headed south on I-65 for an afternoon of leaf peeping in Bernheim Forest about 30 minutes from downtown Louisville. As you drive into the forest preserve there's a beautiful lake that is still showing some incredible fall color. It was hard to narrow down to a favorite shot so here are a couple more views:



After leaving the lake area I heading up into the forest. The drive up was a riot of fall color. Once in the forest, Willie and I walked some of the tree trails and captured the sun dappled foliage up close. We then ended our Bernheim experience with a walk out an observation deck that juts over the tree canopy. The canopy walkway rises 5 feet above the trees so you can actually look down into the treetops and also see to great distances where fall-colored trees meet a blue sky at the horizon.

Here's just one view. If you'd like to see more, just scroll down to the previous post, dated November 1.

    The fall colors are still very vibrant in your area. I love the reflection of the trees in the water along with the sitting duck (?) on the log in the second photo. Hope Willie enjoyed the fresh air and walk along the water's edge.

    You still have more colour than we do! Must be the latitude you are at...
    I love your photos, especially the ones from the walkway, so you can see over the trees!! I have recently found a similar walkway here, but I don't remember if I posted those photos...
