A colorful look at autumn in Holland and Saugatuck

"Holland In Photos," a series shot by Sentinel photographer Adam Vander Kooy, highlights the extra-ordinary happenings of your neighbors. HOLLAND — For this week's Holland in Photos, I captured some of the area's gorgeous fall colors near Holland and Saugatuck. Why is there still so much color along the lakeshore when other trees further inland have already lost their leaves? That would be the influence of Lake Michigan. The lake's moderating effect can delay the changing and falling of leaves near the shoreline. For your enjoyment, here's a look at some of the area's fall scenery before the leaves disappear for another year. If you have ideas for “Holland In Photos” — everything from weddings to concerts to home renovations to a picnic in the park — please send them to newsroom@hollandsentinel.com for consideration. — Contact photographer Adam Vander Kooy at avanderkooy@hollandsentinel.com .
