Fall color update SW MI

I just started paddling again after a 5 week break for full time outdoor space (mostly deck) maintenance. Fun to see the changes since late August.

Put-in on my neighbor’s farm.

Couple more shots of the St Joseph river in SW MI

The Concorde grapes are a deep purple and look totally ready to be harvested with the weight of the grapes pulling the vines off their wires in some places. The smell walking through the vineyard is amazing.

The soybeans also look just about ready for harvest when all the leaves have fallen off and all the green is gone and all that’s left is a spindly stalk with beans on it.

I’m very happy to be paddling again and really enjoying the Fall colors.

SE Michigan. No sugar maples yet but you gotta love sassafras and dogwood.
