October is “Photographer Appreciation Month” — although most practitioners of the craft would rather see that expressed through appreciation of their photographs. To that end, it’s hard to imagine a better time of year here in Michigan to test the limits of that.
Following along as this season transitions, our State website features an up-to-date “Fall Color Tours” page with detailed links to venues throughout. For those with interests that lean decidely darker, there’s the “Michigan 2021 Halloween Events Calendar.” [1,2]
