Traveling through lush farm land on the east side of Lake Huron, I couldn’t wait to find a picturesque corn field. It took a couple of stops to find locations conducive for the views I thought I’d like. We still had ‘places to go and people to see’ so I snapped fast.
Check out how cool the base of the stalks look!
My recent road trip companions have been very patient with me even to the point of allowing for the occasional stop! At a wayside rest along Highway 75 in Michigan, I was able to enjoy (and capture) some fall oak. Oaks are rare in my neighbourhood!
I rarely head out on the road without my camera and if I’m not driving often have it ‘locked and loaded’ in my lap.
On a recent road trip with my parents down the west side and up the east of Lake Huron, we crossed over the Mackinaw bridge.
The dreary weather darkened tree trunks causing the yellows of lingering leaves to brighten in contrast. Here’s another shot on the fly.
I will return once more

Where the Michipicoten River meets the edge of Lake Superior, is a beautiful sand beach and rocky outcrop. Securely situated on that rugged point is a quaint, historic retreat. Rock Island Lodge invites one to escape and/or explore. I wish my stay there had been long enough to do both. I hope to return once more.
I’m not talking hockey stats here. (I am a big fan of the game for those of you who don’t know me.) I’m talking Celsius degrees. We currently are experiencing a plus temperature reading during the day time and a minus temperature at night. The frosty images in recent and upcoming posts are likely taken first thing in the morning. This one was captured late one drizzly afternoon. Not only was I drawn to the brillant reds of the apples in contrast to the greyness of the late fall day, but the way the gentle rain clung to the fruit.
