Fall Color

Last week I drove across northern Minnesota, coming home from paddling Boundary Waters, and the colors were ablaze. The UP should hit peak I predict, this week.

Kent County, Michigan - Fall Color Report

The leaves in some low-lying areas appear to have a hint of color. It’s a bit early for fall color in Grand Rapids - I find it usually is much better the second to third week of October.

However, many leaves seem to be falling off already - I suspect due to the tremendous lack of summer rain. The trees seem quite stressed as a result.
