The sun came out today and I traipsed about 7 miles through the
woods and grasslands of Chippewa Nature Center. Although the maples are now
past their prime, the forest floor is a patchwork of golds, browns, and reds,
and the oaks and beeches are nearing their peak color.

| Beech leaves |

| Mystery berries |

| Golden pathway |
 |
| More gold |
 |
| And yet more gold |
 |
| wow |
 |
| Even the grass is beautiful! |
 |
| Oaks have finally turned |
 |
| OK, one more golden pathway |
I am so happy to be able to spend this time of year here in
Michigan. Where I live in Washington is stunningly beautiful, of course, any
time of the year, but it's a beauty that just shouts at you continuously: Look
here! Ocean! Look there! Mountains! Here, it's so much more discreet and understated.
It forces me to be meditative, reflective; it slows me down. I need that.
