For those of you who have ever wondered why someone would want to live in a state shaped like a mitten… Well, there may be some of you who DO wonder. Wonder no longer, because one of the BIGGEST REASONS is the AUTUMN SEASON. It brings such a smile to my face to observe the warm color spectrum appear, as if by magic, nearly everywhere you look. Green is keen but shades of red and gold make the scene!
So as I am hopping around today, I came across some nifty stuff I wanted to share with those around the world. The Tunnel of Trees is up near to where my folks live (closer to the top of the little finger side of the mitten, I am more toward the wrist, center, closer to the thumb side) Should you be seeking to plan a vacation get-away, consider being here in Michigan during the color change. Be prepared to smile, a lot! Enjoy…
There is an actual video of The Tunnel of Trees in the second link. I have added an actual commercial from our Board of Tourism, all about Pure Michigan. If you think you may recognize the voice, it could be that you are a fan of actor/comic, Tim Allen (a proud Michigander) because he voices most of the Pure Michigan commercials.
Poured some hot coffee
Stepped out into a rainbow
Crunched as I walked on
Gave silent thanks for the sight
Mother Nature accepted
