| Wetzel Road in Sanilac County, just west of Maple Grove Road |
There was some concern about the trees turning color this fall. With the summer drought being so severe in part of Michigan, that talk was about how dull fall color would be.
Put all of those sights aside and go for a back roads autumn drive. Go now. The colors are incredible. The trees are biting yellow, brilliant scarlet, and rusty orange. The skies are a piercing blue; clouds, almost iridescent, even at midday.

| Ruth Road wheat field in autumn |
Velvet green winter wheat coats the fields. Turbines stand like marble monoliths. Soybean fields spread out in layers of soft, leathery tan.
Mother Nature is saying, "Don't stay inside. Not yet. I'm not done!"
