2018 MI Fall Color Tour | Color at Every Turn

2018 MI Fall Color Tour | Color at Every Turn  Although a road trip is always nice, it’s nicer with color.  There’s color around every turn.  In fact, so much color dulls the sensations after a while.  It’s just too much color all at one time.  Keep looking for that extra special bright red tree.  For the whole story with all images, see 2018 MI Color Tour | a 7 Image Story.

2018 MI Fall Color Tour | Point Betsie  Point Betsie rarely disappoints for a nice image.  Point Betsie Lighthouse, located on the northeast shore of Lake Michigan, sees some pretty dramatic weather.  It really does not matter what time of the year, there’s plenty of good clouds, wind, and waves any time of the year.  For the whole story with all images, see 2018 MI Color Tour | a 7 Image Story.

2018 MI Fall Color Tour | Brilliant Tree  Northern Michigan trees tend to show more reds than southern Midwest.  This year the reds seemed to be somewhat muted; not as many and not as brilliant.  Still, peak color is always beautiful.  This tree stands nears Crystal Mountain Ski Resort;  just off M-115, early on our color tour.  For the whole story with all images, see 2018 MI Color Tour | a 7 Image Story.
