Shqipo's Virtual Mumblings

Sunday was a long, tiring but fulfilling day. Fall is breezing through here and we wanted to see some of its splendid colors. I can proudly say that Michigan is a great place to watch fall foliage - especially the northern part of the state. So, we took this "quick", long car trip to the Northern part the panhandle (we didn't go to the Upper peninsula).

We saw the fall colors alright - and more. There was this unexpected color there as well: white (as in snow). I mentioned here that we did get some snow earlier in the week. Not as much as Buffalo, NY but we still got some. What caught us by surprise, however, was that there was still snow on the ground! And it's only October! It was a fantastic (crisp) fall day, sunny, great colors but I did shiver, only by looking at the @#$&* snow!

I did take quite a few photos with my new toy; most of them I already posted on flickr. I probably took a few too many. Eda was not happy at all with me stopping often on the side of the road to take photos. By the end of the trip, her nagging became nerve wrecking. In a way, I don't blame her: it's not much fun to travel about 550 miles in about 11 hours. I should've planned better, as in make this maybe a weekend trip (2 days). Although there isn't much to do up there for too long. But at least she knew we were going there for the fall colors - and me taking photos! WTH?

So, I think I'm done now taking fall photos - maybe... .
