Fall life

This morning, while I was out for a hike I got some good pictures of some of the wildlife. This egret flew from one side of the lake to the other to land on this dead tree. The fall foliage in the background is slight but it adds a touch of color against the stark white of the bird and the brown/grey of the dead trees. The composition of this shot makes it my favorite of the day but below are a few of the other shots I got along the way. The ducks were out again, although not as many as last weekend. The fall colors are vivid on a few trees and the sun on the water made for a gorgeous view across the lake.
