This little lake (more like a large pond) is on state land across the road that my street is off of. It's not great for fishing, and most of the summer, it has a green cover of algae across the top of the water. Today however, I was driving to a family function when I spotted 2 white swans WAY on the opposite side of the water. I have never seen a swan in the lake ever, so of course, I had to stop and snap a picture of them. They're not close up, but they were far from me. Then my eye saw two more beautiful shots and here they are.

The girlies and I went for a nature walk today to pick leaves. The weather is sunny and crisp. The colors are beautiful still, and they love to explore.

I love these shelf mushrooms that Tara found on this tree.  They were so cool with their green coloring laced throughout.

Yesterday, we took these pictures when we went to the grocery store.

I spotted the elk, and they were very uneasy of me.  They ran away before I could get more pictures. 

The first three are pictures around my house. The rest are pictures around town.  Fall is so fleeting.  The colors have progressed so rapidly and soon it will be over.
