Lots of jet contrails in the evening sky. This one really caught my eye.

Went to Horseshoe Lake this evening with Ian as he wanted to go fishing. It's usually a great place for photos with all the herons and other birds. But tonight the fish and birds were not cooperating. However I noticed that the leaves are starting to turn and was able to catch this great reflection in the water.

Another first for me and the family. This beautiful tower is open one day a month where you can go to the top. It's 199 steps up but the view is fantastic.
