One blessings of living in the Detroit-Windsor metro is that before winter kicks our behinds and the darkening "Grayvember" days descend upon us we are treated to a spectacular color show as Mother Nature sings her eternal song ignoring all the bluster of human affairs.

I have been enjoying the display for the last two days, first with a meandering drive along country dirt roads northwest of Milford and today walking along the Upper Rouge in Farmington's Shiawassee Park. So how's the color by you?
