Mecosta County SwampDriving back to Montague from my brother's house a couple days ago, I couldn't NOT take pictures of the riot of color in the trees, forests and farmlands.

This is a view across a swamp in Mecosta County, near a lake of the same name.

Roadside Maple treeRed Maples are among the first to display their autumn color and they are particularly brilliant when contrasted against green  leaves yet unturned - especially when viewed against a setting sun.

Forest near the White RiverNear the White River, yellow and green dominate the landscape.  The path created by fisherman reminds me that trout only live in beautiful places.

White RiverThe water runs crystal clear beneath the bridge that crosses the River at M-20 near Hesperia.

ReflectionsThe variety of color is reflected in a different perspective on the surface of the flowing water.

ReflectionAutumn color in the north woods is part of what makes trout streams so special.

Farm Market

South of Fremont I saw this farm market with a beautiful tree line on the ridge behind a pasture where exotic animals were grazing.

American BisonIt's rare to see American Bison anywhere, but even more so east of the Mississippi.

ElkWith his magnificent rack, this Elk is an impressive animal.

cowI don't know what breed this cow is, but the long hair makes it looks prehistoric.

forest pondThis pond next to Holton Road in Muskegon County reflected the last of the day's vibrant color as the sun was beginning to set just beyond the tree line.
