trying to get there daily to watch the colors change.

really very lovely.

Leaves changing really quickly here.

[fish]

row red

There were leaves on the surface of the water this am.

Looking at the leaves on the water against the reflected backdrop of the changing trees was nice.

Great Blue Heron swooped past the boat to land on a nearby dock.

[fish]

row red

a carpet of leaves on the water.

and the lonely loon, who now comes close to the boat.

[fish]

row red

remarkably good weather for October.

heard an eagle call and there the bird was, up in the usual tree.

very unusual that they call.

same trip, different tree, eagle falls out into flight and simply makes one circle over the boat.

the greeks thought eagles could be omens.

omens can be good or bad, so why have we made ominous into a negative ?
