    I love how you organised your post, it made me wish for Autumn, your photos are beautiful, although we didn’t really have summer this year!

    Beautiful lakes… most of which I have been lucky enough to see IRL, and several that we visited on our recent road trip to Canada. Lucky you for living where the leaves change in autumn.

      Thank you, Janis! Sacramento had amazing Autumns but not until late October, more so in November. Autumn is earlier here but Indian summer has a toe-hold between now and early next week. I’m dreaming in fall colors 😉

      Thanks, Debbie! We’re already seeing some color in the aspens, but I’m sure Autumn will really shoe herself after this 4 day heat wave ends. Paddling is always fun!

        The end of September and its beauty and cooler temps – I cannot wait either! Weatherman said “cooler temps today – get out and enjoy them.” By the time I was driving home at straight-up noon, it was 81 … I don’t count 81 as cooler. 🙂

    Wonderful images Terri! I love the northern California, the Upper Klamath Falls Lake, the colors on Lake Spokane, but most of all the Frozen Loon Lake. Nice shores.
