Hello Door County lovers! It has been awhile since our last post, and in these precious few weeks, the verdant loveliness of the Door landscape has been transformed into an autumn splendor–a showcase of nature’s golden hues. Autumn leaves are responsible for an entire batch of nature-lovers over-running Door County Wisconsin, and mark the end of “peak season” for the tourist industry here.
I’ve recently been reading Bill Bryson’s book, I’m a Stranger Here Myself, and am quoting a passage in which he describes fall in New England. I thought it was a poetic expression of Door County as well, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Maybe it will even inspire you to drive up to the Door! I wish I had gotten the chance this fall.
It was one of those sumptuous days when the world is full of autumn muskiness and tangy, crisp perfection: vivid blue sky,deep green fields, leaves in a thousand luminous hues. It is a truly astounding sight when every tree in a landscape becomes an individual, when each winding back highway and plump hillside is suddenly and infinitely splashed with every sharp shade that nature can bestow–flaming scarlet, lustrous gold, throbbing vermilion, fiery orange.
