It’s Late Fall in Michigan
It’s really pretty here, and the leaves are almost all yellow and gold. There are relatively few green or red trees, but when they are near the golden tones, it’s pretty spectacular.
Unfortunately, there was almost no sunshine for at least three days, so the colors in these photos are a little drab onscreen. Thank goodness, we have had some sun today. Seeing the sun shine through leaves is just beautiful.
I took this first picture on Saturday, at a produce market that is bicycle distance from my house. The pumpkins against the mums called at me as I drove by, and when I returned on the same route I parked and took these photos.
The other two photos are in the neighborhood of East Lansing, just behind Altu’s restaurant. I took these photos on Friday late afternoon. ColorJoy, for sure!
Today (Monday), Tony and I drove to Yarn Garden down in Charlotte (it’s a 30 minute drive one way) and back again. It was a great excuse to chat, and I had to deliver some samples to the shop.
The drive was beautiful and we had a good time, as usual. After we got back to Lansing, we went to New Aladdin’s restaurant for eggplant/tabbouli/hummous pita sandwiches, which is my current craving of choice. Yum!!!

Beautiful pictures. Here in NE we have many sugar maples. They add the brilliant reds and oranges. May I ask what sort of camera you are using?
