Gary's Outdoor Wanderings2

This blog is a visual record of my outings into the streams, lakes and forests of Tennessee and North Carolina by canoe, motor boat and motorcycle. I love photography and use that venue to record wildlife and wilderness scenes for my personal enjoyment. I enjoy writing short stories also and do so while out in the forests or on the lakes. I also am addicted to dogs as will be apparent as you read my blog. But, the canoe is my favorite means of escape and wilderness camping is a joy.

WARRIOR'S PATH STATE PARK

AUTUMN IS NEAR

Warrior's Path State Park. The leaf color is only starting on lakes that have elevation and are colder. The color in these pictures is caused by the warm light of late afternoon reflecting the soft colors on the trees that are just beginning to show. The colors are exemplified and appear rich - vibrant and the water glimmers a dark, velvety surface sheen that is darkened by contrast with the blue sky. The birds are young cormorants. An adult can be seen racing close to the water's surface. All in all, a gentle way for me to end my day.
