Ah, the crisp fall morning; mist dancing on the water chased by the promise of warm daytime sun.

feather clouds
These delicate strokes of high altitude ice crystals are part of the cirrus family of clouds also known as mare’s tails. Here’s a cool resource for all things cloud.
Not only were we treated to these clouds at sunset, but the lake was calm!
Calm is a rare treat here at the water’s edge.
Calm is my camera’s friend.
(So is Photoshop – not so nice blue barrel in lower left corner…didn’t notice that when I was shooting…will have to move that next time.)
Very basic but important photo tip: Look for distractions in the entire frame and adjust the angle or zoom accordingly or, if possible, remove the unwanted item(s). It may be easier to do at the time of the shot than in post=processing.
Here’s the view from my neighbour’s beach.
Window dressing
Frost formations on our windows sparkle in bountiful patterns. Here is the context. In the next few posts, I’ll share some close-ups.

Reflecting
I’ve reached a minor milestone! This post is my 365th! Unlike those who are participating in the 365 project; (taking a picture every day for an entire year) it took me 3 years, 2 months and 3 days to create three hundred, sixty-five posts! My very first post was September 14, 2008. Back then my blog was hosted on blogspot and the images rather small. Here they are in updated splendor.
I’ll never tire of that view! Our ‘birds’ are tucked away for the winter. It’s nice to recall warm summer days as the ice and snow set in around the dock.
Turbo guest
Turbo Beaver C-GDCN, operated out of Emo, stopped by last evening to pick up hockey camp participants. Nice night for a flight!

Pusser’s Rum punch – yum!
