Autumn Beauties

This autumn continues with mostly mild and beautiful weather.  I cannot resist posting a few more photos of local scenery.  The tamaracks along the highway have been prettier this year than ever before, or so it seems.  They look like conifers but shed their "needles" so are actually deciduous trees.

And the protected red Michigan Holly berries are plentiful in the swamps. 

Today the sun was shining on this tart cherry orchard..... beautiful all year 'round!
