Limited edition fine art print of 6 – I was stunned by just how beautiful Southwest Michigan is during autumn. Living in Chicago, we get splashes here and there but nothing like the visual fireworks the trees put off in Michigan to end their cycle. I went searching the woods for a unique composition the Instagram chasers had no chance of finding. Something deep in the woods that required hiking to find. My dog lead me to a small pond hidden 50 yards off the path in a remote part of the forest. She wanted to splash in the mud and I ran down to stop her. When I turned around this beautiful scene unfolded right in front of me.  Photo © copyright by Derek Nielsen
