Leaf Peeping 2024- Part 2

  Today was a good day to hunker down inside, and I mostly did. Bell choir practice in the afternoon, but I worked on projects a lot. No worries. I have more nice pictures from yesterday.

Love a good dirt road in any season, but this is spectacular. Six-Mile Bridge Road.

There is only one bridge across the Little Manistee River between Stronach and Nine-Mile Bridge where the North Country Trail crosses the river. And it's on a seasonal road. This is a nice picturesque crossing of the Little Manistee at 6-Mile Bridge.

I actually wasn't aware that portions of the Little Manistee are in a fairly deep valley. Here's one such place.

Bright spots of color against a green background are always fun. Maple leaves are pretty good at that.

We made a point to drive through the tunnel of black willows at Eastlake. But they were not showing off nicely at all. I expected the leaves to be yellow. Maybe it was too dry earlier this year. These trees are getting very old. I'm not sure how much longer this view will be available. See other seasons in a link below.

Tomorrow I think there will be an event to share, but I do still have some more worthy autumn leaf pictures.

Those first 3 pictures are beautiful. They would look good framed.

Java Bean: "Ayyy, a tunnel made of trees? What will they think of next?"

Bean- there are two "famous" ones quite near me, and one a little farther north
