Fall in West Michigan

Last week my daughter Heather and I both had the same day off.  It was a gorgeous day so we decided to drive some back roads and look at the Fall colors.  We also stopped at a few cute shops!  What a fun day!  I pulled off the road and took lots of photos.  Here's a few of them.  The color isn't quite peak yet, but it's close and it's so pretty.

 Lots of green here yet.


 A familiar scene around here.








 The plants in front of the trees are blueberry bushes.
















This is a celery farm I worked at in high school.  You can see they are still harvesting.








What a fun day!

Oh, such wonderful photos, Mari. Love each one, but especially the old, empty house(?). I'm a sucker for old places.

Glad you have such a great day with Heather. :)

I love what I call Serendipity Days...they are the most fun. No agenda but just stopping wherever the spirit takes you!! Love all the pretty pictures. We still do not have a lot of color here but in another week it will probably reach the peak.

You certainly live in a beautiful part of the country. I love how you framed the white horse with the foliage. Very nice.

Beautiful photos, Mari. It's so nice that you and Heather could spend the day together. I love seeing what fall looks like in other parts of the country. I think fall in Michigan looks a lot like fall in New York, where I grew up. I always like hearing about the celery farm. :) I tried your chicken recipe last week and it was delicious! I'll definitely be making it again. Hope you're having a good week so far. :)

Gorgeous photos Mari! Looks like one of those perfect days. One of my favorite things in the world is when my Mumsy (what I call my Mom) and I can go shopping and out together. Precious memories of a beautiful day. ;)
