I researched a trip to head to the U.P. of Michigan for a scenic byway named “Black River byway”. From the photos, I found online I knew I had to check this place out. So, my girlfriend and I headed to the U.P. for a nice long weekend. Our drive out there was filled with a nasty rainstorm that we were stuck driving in until we arrived at our hotel. I was bummed as I didn’t want to have cloudy, gray, and flat photos. But we got up the next day, the rain stopped, the sun started to come out as we headed out on the byway. This photo was taken at one of the stops, I remember climbing the stairs up from viewing a waterfall, looked left and the red bark tree caught my eye. I knew I had to take the picture.
