The changing season


I know it's been a while since I last wrote, but I've been busy with work and relaxing every chance I get. Fall weather is just starting to roll in, and the breezes off the ocean are stronger and more brisk than they were just a couple of weeks ago.
I was actually dreading fall, since it's my favorite time of year in Michigan. I love the leaves, the cool air, the sunshine and all the annual activities that go along with this time of year. I wasn't (and still am not) exactly sure what to expect from fall here on the North Coast.
One thing I've noticed just this week is the vibrancy of the sunsets. They really have kicked it up a notch! They are the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen—like an ever-changing Easter egg between 7 and 8 p.m. I haven't had the chance to really sit and observe the change in seabirds, but I'm looking forward to checking out any new activity...or lack of it.
This photo was captured shortly after the best part of the sunset, but it's still lovely. If I get a better one, I'll switch it out.

I can't wait to see the sunset pic! Yes, there are already orange leaves on the maples here, and it will be gorgeous as ever, I'm sure. However, you are so fortunate to be experiencing something so different and so beautiful. Living near such a gigantic part of the earth, the Pacific Ocean, it seems like noticing those changes you mentioned would seem magnified in scope. I would love to come and sit on the beach with you!! Love you Sweetie!
