Mountain Ash Fall Colors

The tremendously strong winds we had this week has taken a toll on the beautiful colored leaves that were still hanging on the trees. That said there are still a lot of beautiful subjects to photograph. Usually the mountain ash leaves are the last to fall.

Sunrise on Side Lake

Karla and I tent camped for a couple of nights at McCarthy Beach State Park and were surrounded with the smells of autumn. Both nights were exceptionally warm for October. We rented kayaks one evening and planned to kayak the next morning when we woke to one of the more beautiful sunrises that we have experienced all year.
