I live close to Interlochen, and it’s become one of my favorite haunts for picture-taking. Recently, I caught this sunset over Green Lake on a beautiful fall evening. I think I’m trying to catch all the sunrises and sunsets I can before the cloudy months arrive.
On Friday morning, a friend and I explored the fall colors from the backroads of Sleeping Bear. Some were vibrant, others muted. Regardless, the beauty of the National Lakeshore awed us the whole time.
As I roamed the countryside last weekend, I encountered beautiful trees, vibrant in fall color. But I noticed the fall vistas were muted by ongoing drought. The weekend winds also thinned some of the foliage. There’s still time to get out and enjoy the season’s beauty in this wonderful weather. In some places, the greens are just beginning to turn golden.
While I didn’t see a great blue heron all summer, a couple of weeks ago I spotted one in a farmland pond. I watched it slink around, looking for prey. I wondered if it was migrating someplace for winter.
