SCENES ALONG THE WAY..

Seems the countryside is changing so fast, you blink and all the trees are bare. We had some wind here that helped them out a lot. As Beth Marie spoke the other day..harvesting is going on like crazy now. DSCN2919 DSCN2955

The local ethanol plant has semi’s lined up way down the road waiting to get in.

As we drove to treatment the other day we passed a tour of antique cars. Mom said it really took her back to old times seeing them. Pays to have your camera at the ready for anything that may come along. See that smaller roof..that is a tornado shelter, the door was on the other side. I can’t blame them for having one as their property set in the middle of some very flat farm land. Here is some local color and the bottom 2 pics are of our one and only maple tree in our backyard. It sure was glorious this year.. started out slow and then everything just popped!

Well that is the tour of around here this fall. Now all the displays are coming out for Halloween, some are pretty neat. People have such incredible talent! I will just have to get busy and take some views of those too.

HOPE YOU ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY!!

Don't blame those folks for having that shelter, either. Tornadoes are just plain scary!

Our trees are popping all of a sudden, too! Some of the shots have gray patches which I at first thought were smudges on the lens but they're actually bare trees.

I love trees so when they are like that I could sit and stare at them forever...so pretty. Always a good idea to take your camera every where you go.

Beautiful pictures. Enjoy all those pretty leaves while you can. If you get the kind of wind we have here today, they'll all be gone soon. Have a good one.

Great pics and super color! Our trees are just starting to color. Our corn and garden looks very autumn-like, though. Will have to get out and get some pics...supposed to rain today and this weekend.

Great photos!! Keep your camera at the ready. We don't get the changing colors here... Green to gone, so I always enjoy when others share.

I'll be taking some neighborhood Halloween pics soon. As soon as everyone gets busy!!

Absolutely gorgeous pics Sis and glad you included your own.

I wish *I* had a tornado shelter too as we sure have plenty of them here each year. Can't afford to have one so me and her will just hunker down and hope. :-)

That's one thing I like about Michigan, the colors in the fall.

We're supposed to get big storms here tomorrow. Hope I don't need a tornado shelter.
