Scenes of Southeastern Michigan: Rich Diversity

I find myself a bit busy today, so enjoy these pictures I took this morning while hunting down Garlic Mustard.  All pictures were taken at Island Lake State Recreation Area, near Brighton, Michigan.  These were all taken within a few hundred yards of one another, and all are natural habitats in roughly virgin condition, from forest to oak savanna.  This illustrates how diverse this part of the continent is, with multiple ecological zones growing in close proximity to one another as if they were a mosaic.  The last picture is a shot of the Huron River, which drains a significant part of southeastern Michigan.
