While Michigan holds tightly to summer weather (with temperatures in the 80's), the trees slowly begin to don their fall palette of colors: reds, oranges, yellows and browns. While the reds and oranges on the big trees are not in full force, just wait a few weeks. Mid October is usually the best time for the most brilliant of colors to explode.
That is one of the reasons I love it here, David. Although I wouldn't mind coming to Florida for a couple months every year. Preferably during January and February.
Wow, glorious photo essay! Peak leaves in these parts is sposed to be October 25th, so far I've only seen a few leaves dropping, but that's cause of Ike.
I can't wait for the colors to really kick in here. So far, all I'm seeing are drab yellows and browns...not too exciting. It's going to be a few more weeks until autumn really starts taking hold.

Thanks, ladies!
And why the hell didn't I make a plan to meet you while I was in Detroit last month? I'm such a dimwit.
When will you be this way again? We could meet in Brighton or Novi or something.
*10* for you ;-)
Thanks everyone!
