Fall is in the air. At least if you live in the North, that is. The leaves are starting to change color and the air is brisk and cool. This past summer in Michigan has been awesome. The high temperatures have pretty much stayed between 70°-80°. We only turned on the air conditioning a total of two days. That’s a first. I’m pretty much averse to hot and humid weather, so this has been the most enjoyable summer yet. Having lived in Monterey, California for 10 years really spoiled me, weather-wise. I got used to high temps being 60°-80° year round. Of course, if you’re a beach person who likes to bake in the sun and jump in the lake/ocean, you probably wouldn’t have cared too much for this weather.
Anyway, it’s been a while since I last posted a photograph, so here it is. The above photo is Mabry’s Mill. It’s located in Meadows of Dan, Virginia. This southwestern section of Virginia is known for its bluegrass and mountain music. I’ve never been there myself, but this picture sure captures the Fall colors in all of their glory. I’ve seen several pictures of this mill, but this is the best by far. The name of the photographer who took this photo is Jim McConnell. He lives in Greensboro, North Carolina and has been doing photography as a hobby for almost 10 years. His bio says he loves to photograph flowers, birds, and anything else that will hold still long enough. Thanks for letting me post this picture, Jim. You do great work!
