A early morning walk
The University's Fall break (timed with the November election) gave us a bit more time to enjoy some balmy November weather.
Along the dikes, separating Lake Hartwell from campus, we didn't see anyone else until late in our walk. But we admired a cormorant diving, several great blue herons, a green heron, and gulls recently arrived from the coast.
The camera caught a striking reflection of fall color surrounding the sand spit, which we hadn't noticed, being focused on the herons, but was a nice surprise.
I've been wishing I had a chipmunk photo -- this one gave me a perfect opportunity, foraging for seeds along the dike's rip-rip banks.

Your photos really are amazing Lisa.
ReplyDeleteOh, and thanks for the result last night. The world woke up with a smile on its face today.
I love your photo of the calm, still lake. Early morning is my favourite time to be near the water, especially in autumn.
