Because we have snow on the ground and cold temperatures Autumn seems soooo far away! Therefore I’m linking up these photos that I took in September to the ‘Shades of Autumn’ finale.
Here’s a little glimpse of our early morning tour around the lake. It’s the end of September and all the big boats and skiers have gone home (yay) so we get it all to ourselves! at least for a while, anyway. As you can see it was clear, calm and quiet. What you can’t see is that it was 6 degrees celcius . . . no worries – fleece coats and hot coffee took care of all that. I threw in two bananas and half a loaf of homemade zucchini loaf and we were off! What a way to start the day!

All of these shots are SOOC, however, I do straighten horizons (and you can thank me for that)!
