I went out walking yesterday and stayed close to home. It was a day of football at home so I like to go out for a solitary walk.
Some trees were more colorful than last time and other trees that were SO colorful a week ago have now lost all their leaves - one in particular that I watched turn from green to red and bright orange are now carpeting the ground near the North Shore Inn. It doesn't take long - I would say about three weeks for this particular tree from start to finish, maybe a bit longer.
Mt. San Moritz (as I recently learned the locals call the big pile of dirt that was dumped on the ball field after the work began on the dam project) is now slowly coming down. It is right near San Mortiz Lodge, a beautiful venue for weddings but for the last two years has blocked the view of the lake and so many locals have complained about it - so this is a good thing - the dirt being taken away but i'm a little sad to lose Mt. San Moritz.
It looks like the whole top layer has now been shaved down ..it was a rather high mountain of dirt.
Since the lake has been so low in certain areas, this guy has been out with a metal detector - I got a pic of him by zooming in and noticed the heron behind him.
I love the colors of the trees when you look up on the hills over the lake. I often zoom in and sometimes get to watch them out on their decks having an nice lunch (I'm such a voyeur.)
There was a woman on the shoreline practicing her skills of "commanding" the ducks to come forth. All she has to do is just throw the food out and they run like a bear is behind chasing them. I kept my advice to myself so she could continue on...having..fun.
There were dogs and people enjoying the dog park along the trail yesterday.
Today is another trip over to Lake Arrowhead for another trail walk.

Buenas imágenes, con los colores del otoño como protagonista
ReplyDeletethank you!
ReplyDeleteSuch beautiful and interesting scenes, Sandy. There is so much to see in each one. The story about the lady and the ducks made me laugh.
ReplyDeletelol - well at least that's what my mind's eye saw ... I really wanted to say to her to just throw the damn food out.
ReplyDeleteIt looks so beautiful. A lot of lovely scenes to capture!
ReplyDeletethere is a lot and then when it snows, it starts all over again - out with my camera every day, lol.
DeleteWhat a beautiful walk! Love that the heron was behind that guy and you didn't know it until you zoomed in on him. From the distance it could be Seth in that picture. I have to know this: why would you not want to see the dirt mountain disappear? What do you like about it?
ReplyDeleteWell I was being a little sarastic about Mt. San Moritz - it's just that it's been a focal point on every walk - like ..."when is that going to come down". Yes it was a beautiful walk and I didn't see the heron until i saw my photo later. I was more focused on the guy and yes that looks like Seth kind of.
