Photo of the Week: Kensington Metropark in Fall Colors

One of the reasons I love living in Michigan is because we have four seasons. And fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year when our trees change color.

With warmer temperatures this fall, floods in the summer, and drought last spring, our gorgeous fall color was delayed this year in southeast Michigan.

Typically we see fall foilage change color in early and mid October.

But not this year.

Trees on our street and nearby parks didn’t change to their gorgeous, yellow, gold, orange, and red colors until the last couple weeks.

Glad to have this gorgeous view and reflection of the fall colors at Kensington Metropark, where I saw my first Bufflehead (waterfowl) of the season returning to Michigan.

For my readers in the northern hemisphere, are fall colors changing late in your area?
