Susan Branch: This View Looks Like an Illustration

I have enjoyed the work of cookbook author and illustrator, Susan Branch for years...as a matter of fact, I just bought her book, Autumn from the Heart of the Home, as a gift for a dear friend. 

Then yesterday in my mailbox was the latest Country Living magazine with a big article on Susan Branch!

Click above to see the article online, but be sure to get yourself this issue. It really feels like Autumn in print.

This photo?  I took it on a beautiful afternoon after having lunch outside on Old Mission Peninsula near Traverse City.   The view looks like one of Susan Branch's illustrations, don't you think?
