    Beautifully clear water and great reflections Terri! I love reflections on the water, but when the leaves are turning like in your Autumn shots, they are the most stunning.

      October is a great month for Autumn color here, Linda. We’ll be in Germany the first two weeks of the month. I’ll be on the lookout for Autumn color on the Rhine!

    Terri, the photo that made me smile the most is Brodie and you. But that frozen Loon lake and spokane are just spectacular. More paddle and more smiles. Happy Wednesday on my Thursday!

    I like the idea of spanning the seasons Terri. I have done that with Council Point Park where I do most of my weekday walking. I stood at the same spot at the beginning of the path for all four seasons to make a collage. I did not have any action-packed photos however, just the four still shots. My favorite season is Fall and I like your Fall images – the reflections at Lake Spokane for the various seasons are just exquisite!
