Beach visit

The lake was close to still this morning, so I walked in my knee-high rubber boots around the point to look at the shallow bay on the other side. We own all the trees and beach you can see in this photo. We are lucky to have this land, yet we rarely spend time here as the access takes an effort.

I saw many tracks in the beach sand. The largest are deer (front and back), and the middle ones are raccoon. There were also delicate bird tracks (not shown).

This one has me confused. It is dog-ish, but is it instead a dog relative? There were odd noises in the night that were not yips or barks, but what made them?

Expected, unexpected

I was too lazy to head to the beach to watch the sunrise, but did get out to see the sun crest the treeline. Nice.

Now this is unexpected: a few lilac blooms in OcTOWber! They do smell like spring.

Free-form foam

Nice carpet of beach foam this morning…or only a welcome mat, perhaps.

Time change

Yesterday’s golden sun gave the dock extra pizzaz.

Today’s sunrise sun was obscured, and the dock removed for the winter. [Sigh.]

Later, the sun porch lived up to its name, and became a comfy dining room.
