This is along E. Hawley Rd.
North of the village of Fountain.
We popped into Walhalla Bridge on the Pere Marquette River. Nothing spectacular, but this view is OK.
Of course, we checked out Conrad Road. The section with my favorite trees has already dropped their leaves, but this isn't shabby.
Just because it's so bright red, I'm including a Burning Bush- the alien, ornamental Euonymous alatus
However, there are two native Euonymus that are attractive in the fall. They may or may not get as consistently red leaves, but the fruits are very cool. I saw this one in Kentucky. These are the seed pods. This is E. americanus, sometimes called American Strawberry Bush.
Also, E. atropurpureous, American wahoo, turns fairly consistently red in fall. The seed pods are almost as interesting, with a little less texture and all reddish-pink- not the orange seeds.
In other news: I did some bookwork things, but couldn't complete them due to an inability to log in to a website (eyeroll). I did some dishes. I had a Zoom meeting.

Nice fall color. My favorite are the roads. There's something about I tree lined road that I find so appealing
Lulu: "That Conrad Road looks like just the kind of place where Mama and Dada used to love to ride their bikes back East!"
