Vernon Marsh just off Frog Alley Rd, Monday 10/11






The weather is very comfortable and the Fall color is very good this week.








Didn't start getting cool until 5:30pm. Not much of a breeze. We went to the upper parking lot late in the afternoon which has a panoramic view of the surrounding area.






We could see across to the Falcon View Estates subdivision where we painted earlier this year, http://milwaukeesketchclub.blogspot.com/2010/04/milwaukee-sketch-club-at-falcon-view.html and http://milwaukeesketchclub.blogspot.com/2009/12/next-plein-air-outing-dec-3-at-230-pm.html .

Also we could see over over all the Vernon Marsh area, http://milwaukeesketchclub.blogspot.com/2010/04/milwaukee-sketch-club-at-vernon-marsh.html , http://milwaukeesketchclub.blogspot.com/2009/11/milwaukee-sketch-club-at-vernon-marsh.html .
