If you know anything about autumn trees or photography you know how hard it is to capture the "big picture" of the fall scene in a camera lens. But yet, I have to try, so this is my first attempt to document the flavor of fall here in Michigan. It's a daily changing panorama--some trees are already bare and some are green, but the maples are the real beauties today. We have had a record number of sunny days this fall (yes!) and it is a good year for orange/red color. The burning bush euonymus are already bright red but the red maples are only just beginning to brighten this week. More color coming!
