I adore October in Wisconsin. One of my favorite things to do is to visit Holy Hill, a national shrine and basilica which sits on the highest hill in this part of Wisconsin.
It's always a peaceful and beautiful place to visit, since it's surrounded by acres of wooded countryside and farmlands.
The last few years we haven't had the brilliant red, orange and yellow leaves I remember from years ago, but even the muted colors are spectacular.
You don't have to be Catholic, or even Christian, to appreciate the beauty of the basilica.
And my snap-happy finger took the following picture of the side of the building without the rest of me knowing about it. I think it's actually one of my favorite photos.
Closer to home, this is the maple tree behind our house. The photos were taken three weeks in a row.
And, finally, here are a few others things that caught my eye closer to home during the last week.
I hope you have something pleasant to look at, wherever you may find yourself.
