Vol XV #219 – Meggen’s Monday

Sunrise, sunset… a canopy of fall clouds makes a light-catching backdrop both just after sunset last night and just before (an earlier/more normal-feeling) sunrise this morning. Those who were driving anywhere just after 7 am were treated to an array of pinks.    

Vol XV #216 – A Nicer Day Than Yesterday

Indeed, a much nicer day than yesterday.  The 10 day forecast is calling for some pretty nice weather with the exception of tomorrows 90% chance of rain.  Still a lot of color, both in the trees and on the ground. Time change this weekend, I really don’t know why we have Daylight Savings Time.  Being at the west end of the… Read more »

Vol XV #215 – A Blustery Day

  A dark and windy beginning along with showers… ugh  Not so for Elijah Allen above.  I nearly got blown away by a gust of wind on Van’s Beach.  40 years ago, Oct. ’75, on a much nicer day than today I took the picture below.  Today it’s just an open field barren of structures. My apologies to Dave, I’m not focusing today

Vol XV #212 – Meggen’s Monday

Vol XV #211 – Blue Sky, White Clouds and Peak Color

Today was probably the best day for color touring with the weather forecasting clouds and rain this week.  Blue sky with puffy white clouds showcased the peak colors.  Another factor, the leaves are falling fast with some trees already barren.  Our journey today took us to Empire by way of Glen arbor and back home on roads we have never travels… Read more »

Vol XV #210 – Fall Frenzy in Greater Downtown Leland

A few sprinkles left over from the overnight rain greeted the sunrise.  Small pockets of blue provided an occasional splash of sunshine.  It was an mostly cloudy and breezy day.  Fishtown and Greater Downtown Leland were crowded with Fall Frenzy people.

Vol XV #206 – Not as Nice as Yesterday

Not as nice as yesterday, but not the worst.  Another one of those “little bit of everything” days with some raindrops in the AM, sunshine at noon and overcast to mostly cloudy later.  Leelanau County is reaching peak color this weekend with temperatures in the mid fifties, sunshine Thursday thru Saturday. Possible showers Saturday PM.
