The first signs of Fall

Summer's coming to an end soon. The dune grass is turning yellow, the temperatures are dropping, and winds heralding a change of seasons.

This is an image of the dunes just west of Glen Haven. I live in Kingsley and love that area. I packed into Valley View and then onto Glen Arbor and Glen Haven. This particular image was caught during early light after a rainy day prior. The shadows cast were incredible. Thank you for all your efforts,

It was a warm, sunny, winter day and I was snowshoeing at Good Harbor. Sunshine has been rare this winter and so has the snow but the "driftscape" at Good Harbor is always spectacular. In this photograph it had not snowed for a week. On that day I decided to explore the dunes because I like to see the dunes when it is sunny. While moving across the ridges of the dunes, camera always in hand, I look for interesting things to photograph. I saw this drift and the texture the wind created in the snow and I knew I had to take a picture.
