Vol XVI – #209 – Meggen’s Monday

The Leelanau is a perfect place to fully embrace each of the four seasons. We are in the middle of a bonanza of oranges, yellows, and reds: this morning, raindrops and sunbeams intensified the colors. Today’s photographs are from within the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore. By sunrise yesterday, I was deep in the park, hiking through morning fog, enjoying… Read more »

Vol XVI – #208 – A Beautiful Start to What Became a Cloudy Day

  It was a perfect day for Leaf Peeping, that is before two, then the clouds moved over. The gentleman holding the leash on Biscuit asked if he could pet him and then showed me pictures of his three dogs.  He said he was on his way back to Alabama and introduced me to gentleman next to him who was… Read more »

Vol XVI – #207 – A Lotta Color Out There

A great day to see the color as it develops around the county from Northport to Cedar.  We welcomed the sunshine as the forecast for the next seven days calls for cloudy skies.   The 2017 Leland Report Calendar is available for pre-order!

Vol XVI – #204 – The Color of Beautiful Leelanau

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

  It’s grayer and cloudier today than it was yesterday, when I joined the many people out cruising M-22, taking in the richness of fall color. I traipsed up the Dune Climb, hoping to see more from that elevation. Along about that time, clouds rolled in. All told, the fall color of 2015 has been delightful, and perhaps continuing longer… Read more »

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 »
