Hello friends!
Gee, it's been a week and a half since I have posted anything.
Have you missed me??? (lol)
I guess I have been waiting for the fall colors to inspire me and...well...
...this fall has been a little unusual as far as the fall foliage is concerned.
Here it is, nearly November and we still have many green trees...
...some which still have most of their leaves!
As you can see, we are getting a little color...finally.
~
So, bright and early Saturday morning I decided to go out and see what I could see.
I drove just a few miles to our local Lake Michael, and was so glad I did...
...because this is what I saw when I arrived.
At first glance, the lake was nearly invisible.
The fog over the lake combined with the glare of the sun nearly blinded me.
Other than the park caretaker, I, along with a lone fisherman were the only ones there.
The air was crisp and cool and it was glorious as I walked, leaves crunching underfoot...
...along the trail that ran parallel to the water's edge.
Beautiful color, at last!
How could I not be inspired by this?
As I strolled along, the fog gradually lifted, revealing crystal clear blue skies
and breathtaking reflections.
I could have stayed all morning but unfortunately, I had somewhere else I had to be...
...cutting my visit to Lake Michael a bit short.
But I found what I was seeking...
...some beautiful fall scenes full of color...
...and some inspiration :)

Have a blessed week, friends!

ReplyDeleteHello Debby
ReplyDeleteYour photos are incredibly beautiful.
Thank you for sharing them with us!
Hi Debby, Your pictures are outstanding, especially like the mist coming off the lake. We are driving across Canada and then down the West Coast and over to NC to spend Christmas with our daughter who lives near Durham, I don't know how close you are to there but we are going to be near. As we drove through Saskatchewan everything was grey and brown no colours at all, so lucky you still have plenty of colour left. Enjoy while you can
ReplyDeleteJust wow! These places and these pictures are stunning! Wish I had been tagging along, camera in hand.
ReplyDeleteDebby, these are stunningly beautiful photos. The colours and the fog on the calm lake are a photographers dream. Thanks for going out there and for sharing these pictures. Have a blessed week.
ReplyDeleteYES! I missed you a lot! And oh boy, what a return you've made! These photos are just breathtaking, Debby. Such beauty you live in. Things here in the mountains are slowly approaching autumn, too. The colors are beginning to change in the trees, though most of our trees are evergreens. But, the temperatures are beginning to get a bit chilly at night.
ReplyDeleteI feel pumpkin cappuccino coming on...!
GOD BLESS!
Wowzer!!!! Beautiful!!!! I don't know how you could make yourself leaf....heehee...sorry..... but truly you got some gorgeous shots!! Almost as pretty as you...:) Hugs my friend!!
ReplyDeleteThese are just gorgeous photos! I love the fog over the lake, especially the shots with the dock reaching out into the water. That is just super beautiful!
ReplyDeleteYour timing seems to have been perfect. Wonderful atmospheric look to these. And yes, I've missed you.
ReplyDeleteHow could one not be inspired by the mist over the lake, reflections and the colour of the leaves. I'm so glad you went to the lake on the day you did as you've captured some awesome photos. Second from the bottom is my favourite.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking to Mosaic Monday.
I can see how you were inspired...sheer heaven in your pictures.
ReplyDeleteOMYGOSH, DEBBY...these photos are so awesome. That one, with the pier, I would enlarge and
ReplyDeletehang it over your mantel or wall. Just beautiful.
These are some wonderful photos! Beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteOh wow! How beautiful! I know you are glad you took the ride. The leaves are still not turning much in Nashville either. Your photography skills get better and better.
ReplyDeleteYou should print these out in a set of notecards....perfect for Fall. You were at the right time for photographs. We are still very green here but some things look like they are end of summer with seeds and all. Enjoy your week my friend! Hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteThese scenes are about as beautiful as it can get. That low lying fog or mist is so beautiful.Oh my,I do love this post.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I was truly inspired also! Fall is so full of color and a calm before a long winters rest!
ReplyDeleteYours, Roxy
So beautiful, Debby...of course, you were inspired! Those are the scenes we wait all year long to see! What a marvelous gift from our Creator!
ReplyDeleteOh my, such beautiful color. While we do have some of the fire reds in our trees here in northern Colorado, I have never seen such beauty in the fall colors in the old eastern forest. I live on the grasslands where trees are limited to a few old varieties. Your photos are gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow! What beautiful pictures!!!!! All the trees are empty at our homestead in Minnesota.
ReplyDeleteSimply amazing photos. . .what a beautiful post. Peaceful and yet so full of vibrancy!
ReplyDeleteHi Debby,
ReplyDeleteYes, we missed you....BUT it was worth the wait!! Stunning photos of your inspiring views at the lake! I cannot take my eyes off the pic second from the bottom; it's just breathtakingly, unbelievably beautiful!!!
