Sunday Canoe Trip

After our cold snap, we've gone into an Indian Summer--nights get down near freezing, but days are sunny and range between 65-75. On Sunday, we went to Upper Stillwater Lake and paddled around. Dad managed to fall in when we were beaching the canoe for our lunch stop--not serious, but really messy. The shore was very silty, so not only did his all-cotton clothing soak up lots of water, everything, including his wallet, got pretty full of fine grime. Didn't have my camera at the ready, so I can't show you how funny it was. It took him a while to see the humor in it.
But I did manage to get some scenic views ..... The fall colors are really developing now. Aspens are starting to turn yellow, and the larches will come on later in October. Here, though, all the trees are evergreens, so the color is down low. Don't know what the deep red brush is, but it sure is pretty.
