Ah, it’s a blustery Friday here in Traverse City, and although it’s unseasonably warm I think we’re well past the peak of fall color now. The wind is stripping leaves off the trees and scattering them down the streets in whispery battalions of red and gold. Kids are gathering downtown for the annual Halloween Walk, and I’ll be heading home for some domestic trick-or-treating of my own.
Still, it was an awesome week for photography, with lots of good color and temps in the high 50s, so I thought I’d share some of the highlights with you. Here goes…

Thank you Mike! You can’t imagine how many people I am forward this to! If they’ve never been here, they have no idea the water can be that blue; the trees that brilliant. If they have been here, these pictures will make them want to come back soon. Delightful.
I am one of the ones Nancy sent this to.
Just gorgeous. I love fall so much.
Thank you so much for sharing your part of the country.
