Acadia National Park in Maine is one of America’s most treasured landscapes, and in early fall, it becomes a canvas of warm reds, oranges, and yellows.

One of those moments led to this image: an old brick bridge framed by early autumn leaves along Acadia’s historic carriage roads.

Each May, Holland, Michigan transforms into a vibrant canvas of color and culture during the Tulip Time Festival. For me, this celebration is more than just a floral showcase—it's a cherished tradition.

One of my favorite views during the festival was from Riverview Park located beside Window On The Waterfront, right beside the Macatawa River. From the park’s overlook, we admired Windmill Island across the swampy waters—a tranquil scene framed by nature and rich with nostalgia.

It was one of those serene mornings in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula—the kind where the fog hangs low, the air smells like pine needles and possibility, and you start to believe nature might just be your best friend.

I didn’t expect to stumble into a scene that looked like it was straight out of a Disney movie… or a bear survival guide.

The result was a mesmerizing photo that I later transformed into a 500-piece puzzle for my brand, MI Puzzles.
