Leaf Peeping on the Lake

Our day on the Big Lake was gloriously sunny, and the foliage was putting on a good show for us.






Here's another view, looking up the bay, from the hillside.


All the summer people are gone, the area was deserted. Only a couple of boats passed by--a small motorboat chugging up the bay, running into the wind, and the big boat, heading down the bay.





It was so powerfully gusty down on the dock that I needed something to keep the wind out of my ears. I couldn't find a proper scarf, but I did find an old lambswool sweater handed on to me by my late mother-in-law. So I put it over my head and tied the sleeves under my chin. If my face looks flushed, that would be from the wind burn!


On the way home, I took this shot by the river--late afternoon, and the sun was lighting the trees beautifully. The photo really doesn't do the scene justice.


We stopped in the village to pick up Chinese noodles and crab rangoons, which we devoured when we got home.
