I’m originally from Michigan but left almost 17 years ago now.  I went back last month to see friends and family.   I always appreciate seeing everyone when I go back but I can’t say I enjoy the state in the middle of winter!  I snapped a few shots while driving to the airport and counted the cars in the ditches-12 plus one ambulance.    Just a few days later I was driving Highway 5 to Los Angeles.  The difference was remarkable but both beautiful in their own way.  I was driving only once while taking these photos I swear!  You can figure out which is where!
