Autumn Day at Lake of the Clouds, photo by John McCormick/Michigan Nut Photography
John McCormick comments that it won’t be long and we will be seeing scenes like this one again. With a north wind blowing and highs not expected to reach 60 today in Michigan’s northern half, it’s pretty clear that fall and fall color is right around the corner! I hope you get the time to plan a color tour or two to enjoy places like the Lake of the Clouds. Michigan is especially amazing when the hardwoods catch fire, and the show only comes once a year
John is one of my favorite photographers, and his Michigan Nut Facebook page is on fire right now with new photos every day!

Michigan fall … and the Michigan Fall Wallpaper Series

The latest in our Michigan Fall Wallpaper series* is part of Patrick McGowan’s Michigan Autumn set (slideshow)
This is the part where I think of something to add to the photo, but all I can come up with is “This is from October 30, 2005, so don’t despair – there’s still time to enjoy that fall color!”
*I’m sure a lot of you didn’t even know Michigan in Pictures had a “Michigan Fall Wallpaper series“. It’s actually a relatively new thing and by “relatively new” I mean “I thought it up this morning”. I’ll add photos to the series that are available in the bigger sizes to grace your computer’s desktop. Most of the pictures are on Flickr and you may have to join Flickr and/or become a contact of the photographer to be able to view that size.
Fall Wallpaper: Up North, 1975

A ton of the visits to Michigan in Pictures come (unsurprisingly) from people searching for all kinds of things. Some from the last 2 days include the specific (Hessel boat show, Henderson Castle, Hartwick Pines – must be “H” week) and the general (surfing michigan, pics of detroit, nature photos). One thing remains constant: people are always looking for something nice to adorn their desktop. I’ve noticed a spike in people searching for “fall backgrounds” and “fall wallpaper” over the last few days that mirrors the changing of the trees, so it must be time to start rolling out some of the fall color photos I’ve found.
If you’re looking for fall color photos, try the fall tag. I tag any photo that’s large enough to make a nice background with the “wallpaper” tag – just look at the bottom right of the post to see that!
About this photo, PaleBlueEyes writes:
So, my grandpa has a ton of old slideshow photos that I’m helping him convert to digital pictures, then make into slideshow DVD’s. The pictures are mostly of the family and various vacations in Europe, India, and around the US. This picture happened to be one of my favorites. It was taken on my grandparent’s property in the UP in the fall of 1975…I think even with all the technology on cameras today, I’ll never be able to take this beautiful of a picture.
