Last Saturday Evelyn and I went out in search of the wonderful colors of West Michigan in the fall. We drove down to Saugatuck MI and found little to be impressed with in the central west Michigan area. The colors were for the most part flat, and unsaturated. We really have no explanation for this as there are plenty of leaves, and we have not had a real hard rain. The winds have not even kicked up as of yet. On thing that has just recently happened was wee had our first frost. That seams a little late in the season and that may well have something to do with it.
After we stopped for lunch on the water front we went down to Oval beach on the lakeshore ands found no additional encouragement in color. Oh well! There was one spot driving into town that I saw and wanted to stop at. A nice place along a creek had some nice reflection and color. I walked a ways to get a different angle when I came upon a park that overlooked the image above. Now there were some colors. Unless the trees are going to bring some surprises in the next couple of days, I am afraid this is about all we are going to get in West MI this year.
Take care... Doug
