I wished I'd had our good camera with me for this pic but I had to use my measly 1.3 megapixel phone. And I really mean I had to use because it was such a beautiful shot I couldn't resist. I drive all over the county (it's part of my job-not-a-job) and see so many picturesque scenes at all times of the year but I must admit that some of the best images and scenes in Michigan are firstly (and I dread to say this because it's my least favorite season) in winter, secondly it would be autumn, thirdly spring and lastly summer (though summer is my favorite time of year; hands down).
Often I will be enroute and have just a little time to spare and see a road I've never traversed before and decide: "Hell, let's see where this road goes." Many people I know probably wouldn't dare do such a thing for fear of getting lost but for me, driving full-time for one month shy of nine years I've learned a very good sense of direction.
Needless to say I've discovered some very useful shortcuts and some very interesting scenery as well. This particular one I discovered sometime in the middle of this past summer. About a quarter mile down the road the trees literally create a canopy over the road in summer. It's like driving through a tunnel. A couple hundred feet after that there is a cross-road which leads to a single lane iron bridge with creaky wooden planks. I've found some old stone school houses (the single room kind); log cabins; etc.
Anyway, they a picture says a thousand words but in nature I must say that there really is nothing like being there.
