Default Beautiful Tischer Creek Trail


Most of you know that I moved to Duluth, MN from Florida recently. I had never been here before although we traveled most of the US over the years. But I researched/studied the area over the Internet for the 6 years since my son and his wife moved here.
One beautiful place that caught my imagination was Tischer Creek, a small waterway running down the bluff that Duluth is built on and emptying into Lake Superior. It is a strip woodland, left untouched except for upkeep on two trails: one rough, next to the creek, and one (an old street) sort-of paved and easier walking.
I finally walked it last week and this last Sat. took a new camera to capture some of the beauty. The upper entrance is only about a 1/2 block from my apartment building so I can go walk it often (my son and wife do several times a week).
Here is a slide show of the pictures I took on Sat. along the lower trail. The new camera, a Sony Cybershot, behaved beautifully - think it sometimes re-directed my clumsy focusing.

Enjoy!

Very beautiful Kitzel. It reminds me of a place in North Carolina that I have been to a couple of times in my life. It makes me want to move there until I remember how cold it gets there. I can't take the cold. I guess I am a real Floridian I have thin blood

What a lovely place, Kitzel! I really enjoyed the sights along that trail. It's going to be just as beautiful in the winter. Can't you just imagine the same scenes covered in white snow? You & your camera take great pictures, too!

Gorgeous! How nice, Kitzel, to have that beautiful trail so close to your home. Love the waterfalls. Nice photos. Enjoy!

I hope you are feeling more settled in now. I imagine you are glad to be out of Florida this hurricane season.
