Many people are learning about the benefits of pasture fed, unprocessed full fat milk. It’s hard to get though and the Lubbers Family Farm is one of the places this is available in Michigan. In order to get the milk, folks buy shares in the jersey dairy cows on their farm and pick up their milk weekly. I took this picture in the pasture of their farm. I’ll tell you a little more about this later in the week when I post more pics, in the meantime, if you’re curious to learn more, you can find out more about the farm online at www.LubbersFarm.com.

I haven’t seen many sheep farms here in Michigan so had to take this shot when I was traveling in northern Michigan on my fall color hunt. It’s beautiful here but wow were the cars ever ripping by me when I was setting up the shot.
I took this photo on 100th street, it’s across the street from the place I posted earlier this week. Check back soon for tips on how to use the photos on my blog as wallpaper for your computer.
I’ve been noticing a LOT of people are finding my BLOG by searching for barns. Therefore I’ll be adding more barns for ya’ll in my next few posts.
Here’s another picture that I took at Leslie Tassel Park in Cascade, Michigan. This was taken on a little dock that extends out into the river. Looking to the East, this is what you’ll see. From the west, is a view of the dam. More to come tomorrow.
For years I’ve driven by the Leslie E. Tassel Park in Cascade and thought “hmmmm that might be a cute little place to sit back and look at the river.” Wow was that an underestimation. It looks like nothing much from the street but once you park and walk along the paths you’ll see that this small park is really special. I have several pictures that I’m going to post over the next few days. Check it out, I think you will love Leslie E. Tassel Park. I do. Here’s a google map link to the park.
I was lost when I took this picture so I can’t give you a google map link to it. But, this was taken in the Kalkaska area, it might have been on M-72. One thing that surprised me was how absolutely beautiful this area is. I don’t know why that surprised me except that I’ve never heard Kalkaska mentioned as pretty.
That’s something Michigan has going for it. Even though a lot of places here don’t get much attention, it doesn’t mean they are lacking in the “spectacular” department. I’ll be heading for the Detroit area soon and would appreciate feedback from those of you who can give me suggestions for interesting places to show the world on the East side of the state. Just post it as a comment or send and email to me at ann@anntopia.com. Thanks!
On my color tour up north, I saw this barn, off in the distance when I was traveling on a side street off M-72 heading towards Empire. The light was hitting the metal roof and made it look purplish blue. One of the things I just love about the whole Leelanau Peninsula is the unusual old buildings that I find every time I’m there.
I saw this when I was up north on my color tour. It made me happy to see Michigan starting to make strides in alternative energy. The windmill is HUGE, look at it in comparison to the trees in the background, they are actually not very far away.
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.
