Fall Color Reflections

 

One of the calmest, most peaceful mornings I've ever experienced. More often than not, a dominant characteristic of fall days seems to be the wind.  Not on this day, however. You could hear a squirrel drop a pine cone from a mile away. All I could hear at this moment, though, was the deafening silence and the occasional soft "oooOOOooo" call of a loon from the next lake over, behind the ridge you see here.
