This year has be an interesting one for me. I had the chance to do more travelling than usual, which gave me many more photographic opportunities. Sometimes though it’s the images you take that are close to home that you end up liking the best. Here are ten images mostly from the late summer through autumn that I like the best. I have many more that I could say the same for, but for the sake of brevity I will limit it to Ten. The images are in no particular order. Enjoy!


In Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

After going through so many images, it was really difficult to decide, and had to leave out many that I would have liked to include. You can find links on this blog to my sites and where to view more images.
Best wishes to everyone, both now and in the coming year!!!
Beautiful images, Rachel.

Thanks so much Scott!! I just love fall color as you know! 🙂
Great selection rachel. I’m really glad you didn’t ask us to pick our favorite. That would have been way too hard 🙂

I like the photo of the road with the two yellow lines bring the viewer along, something about the whole atmosphere that is appealing to me.
Thanks very much for stopping by the blog and for the kind words Mike! 🙂
