Well folks, if you’re looking for fall color, this coming weekend is a great time to head to northern Michigan. This is another view of the picture I took inland last weekend in the Kalkaska area where color was starting to peak (see post from earlier this week). Closer to the Lake Michigan lake shore the color hadn’t come even close to peaking yet. I’ll bet anywhere from Frankfort north on M-22 or M31 between Traverse City and Charlevoix will be beautiful this weekend.

Iris Farm in Northern Michigan
When I was on my fall color tour this weekend I almost got in a wreck when I saw this cute little iris farm. By the way, I noticed a lot of people finding my blog because they are looking for barn photos, please be sure to click the “Barns” link in the menu bar to right so you can easily find all of my barn pictures. And, thanks for visiting!

Awesome Fall Color
Want to guess where I went today? I took this inland right around the 45th parallel on private property. The next 2 weeks should be spectacular in Northern Michigan, the trees are just starting to turn along the coastline and are nearing peak colors inland. I took a ton of pictures so check back!

Dam at the Leslie E. Tassell Park
Today was the most spectacularly perfect fall day I’ve ever experienced. Fall in Michigan is always beautiful, but today was warm and sunny with beautiful clouds drifting by. I took this at the Leslie E. Tassell Park in Cascade. I’ve got more pictures for you coming up later this week. Here’s a google link to the park.

Eastown Street Fair
Have you been to Eastown? The streets are brick and the place is hip. I took this at the Eastown Street fair a couple of weeks ago in front of Sami’s Gyros, yum!

Barns, Memories and My One Armed Fiddler
I think I have a thingy about barns because I can’t help but taking pictures of them. I see this one every time I take I-96 back and forth to Lansing and just LOVE the aqua flair on the little building by it.
My maternal grandparents were farmers in Missouri and barns remind me of them. Here’s a YouTube link to the one armed fiddler, my Grandpa Smith. I admired him tremendously because he only had one arm and never let it stop him from doing what he loved, in fact it wasn’t until I was a teenager that I realized what huge obstacles he had overcome, to me he was invincible.
