Tungsten

You know it is finally Fall in Michigan when the grocery store has mums and pumpkins outside and there is more than one variety of red apples.  :)

But seriously, it is finally Fall here and the leaves are changing (despite it being shorts weather). While I remain a NY/Adirondack snob in that Fall in the ADK's is far superior to what I've seen in Michigan so far, here are some pictures from today (I apologize for the poor quality on the last two - I was trying out my tripod and auto-timer).

I saw this tree on the way to the grocery store this morning which prompted my need to take pictures. It's SWEET, right?

A little bit up the street from me.

I couldn't help but document the fact that I was wearing shorts today. This weather is NUTS.

Fun Fact: Tungsten filaments are found in incandescent light bulbs, but only 10 percent of the electricity the light bulb uses is converted to visible light. 

Eco-Friendly Fun Fact: For every $2 that is invested in compact fluorescent lights, a thousand pounds of carbon dioxide emissions are saved. Go switch over the last of you incandescent light bulbs RIGHT NOW.
