Fall is a bittersweet time of year for me. For the past eight years, at least one of my chicks has returned to school. It wasn't too bad when the girls were only a couple hours away.
But the man-child? He's EIGHT hours away!
Crazy, right?
Fortunately, I live in Michigan. When we drive from mid-Michigan up to nearly the northern-most point in the contiguous U.S.--we usually go
sometime in October
--the colors are GORGEOUS!
As
matter of fact, they're inspirational.
(Ignore the overcast-ness. My son says they only had three days of sunshine during the 2018-2019 school year, so it's 'normal'.)

What's
absolutely breathtaking is Lake Superior.
There have been gale-force winds over the past few weeks and
THESE IMAGES came across my Facebook timeline. They're beautiful and scary and forceful
--all wrapped up in a couple dozen images. The waves crashing against the
cliffs sending foamy spray into the pine trees
. Waves reaching
20-feet in height are common on the Big Lake.

I spend a lot of
the road trip writing. Sometimes, I have a plan. I want to work on this or that. And other times, I let the landscape inspire me.
Are there things in nature that inspire you? What about sights in your state?
