Safe From Everywhere
Safe From Everywhere – Concord, Michigan
It’s been a pretty great October here in Michigan. And just before it turned pitch black on my morning commute, I grabbed some foggy forest shots as the leaves were turning.
Consider it a goodbye to the leaves for seven months or so.
Nothing like shopping for the perfect pumpkin at the local farm.
Autumn in Michigan is pretty great. And though my mood takes a turn for the worse because of the creeping darkness, I’m really trying to embrace this fall. It helps that the weather has been so great all October.
So let’s do it. Let’s do the Halloween thing and the pumpkins and the cider (lots of cider, what with six orchards within 20 minutes of my house). Let’s beat back the oncoming winter blues with some autumnal spirit.
Ah, late summer / early autumn in Michigan – when those roadside farm stands pop up.
I can’t resist. There’s something about a fresh-grown tomato or ear of corn I find irresistible. And with my commute through rural Michigan, I have lots of options.
Such good deals! I picked up a quart of cherry tomatoes for $1, perfect for snacking at work. And we eat a lot of corn on the cob during the summer and fall.
I usually tend my own garden, but this year it’s been tough going. So it’s nice to have a farm stand backup.

One of the fun consequences of my Artists In Jackson project has been to see all these great interiors and work spaces. Can’t beat that window light.
