The colors have faded

I recently went back to Turkey Pond and was astounded to see how quickly the colors have faded and how many leaves have already fallen. It was only two weeks ago that I took such colorful photos of the same Pond. It was also very windy and cold, around 47 degrees.

Although the leaves have changed, I still located my friend "Hank" the Heron.

I also saw a small group of Canadian Geese stopping for a rest on their way south.

I think that I will soon be forced to put the kayak away for the winter. I am hoping to forestall that as long as I can. I guess I can dress in several layers and use gloves. Hope I don't capsize with all that weight! Thanks for reading.
