Yep the cool nights are in full effect!

I suppose it is, like many things in life, a somewhat bittersweet occurrence. The nights here in Michigan have a bite of chill to them. Yes it is very nice for sleeping with the windows open. Hearing the sounds of the waves lap along the docks is a magical lullaby. Yet there is a bit of sadness in admitting Fall is in the air and that, after all, the endless summer does in fact end...

The Signs of the Times

This is a stand of sumac I believe. I have watched these tiny trees for years and they are a gauge of the season as reliable as any calendar. These are the very first trees to change color in my neck of the woods.

A Warning

Their leaves change to many different hues of yellow, orange, and red. (Notice the ones further up the hill are still green.) Maybe they are nature's early warning system, in place to give us all a heads up about what is soon to come.

I meant to get this posted for #treetuesday. Alas late is better than never...

Thanks for stopping by!
