Fifty Shades of…

GREEN!

(I’ll bet you were thinking of a different color.)

Before I leave Michigan, I have got to say that this is one of the greenest states I have ever seen. Canopy

6 Spruce tips Hartwick Pines

Trees on Painted Rocks

Ft Wilkins State Park

Balsam spires Ft Wilkins St Park

Light green trees, dark green trees, medium green trees. Then, the color changes with the light.

Some of the water is green.

And with all the rain that we got while I was there, even Smokey knows where it’s at.
