This year the fall colors are amazing! We must have had just the right mixture of sunshine, cold, and shorter days to make the colors pop! Yesterday, was a particularly lovely day. The large maple trees are alive with color! The blue sky makes them all the more striking!

Likewise, when the lake is calm one can see a mirror image of the trees across the water. This water reflection happened last weekend during the morning hours. It is stunning when the glass like water reflects the colors so clearly.
