The lifeguard chair sits idle on the beach all winter long … just waiting for the warmth of summer when the swimmers come back to the lake. You can barely even see the lake in this image as it’s coated with a thick layer of fog on this gloomy, yet mild, winter day.

There were so many different elements going on at the lake today. It was extremely foggy and mild, with temperatures in the mid to upper 50’s. Crazy for January in Pennsylvania! The fog was moving quickly, weaving in and out of the trees and over the frozen lake. Cracks in the ice made some interesting patterns close to the shore line and oak leaves were frozen in time, just beneath the surface of the ice. Every few minutes the landscape would change as more or less fog enveloped the landscape. The warm and cool tones of this scene perfectly depict the day.

I love searching for images that convey simplicity. When there are too many elements in a composition, my eye sometimes doesn’t know where to look. These leaves were floating on the water at the edge of the lake and I loved the colors and the way they are just barely touching each other. It’s not only the blast of colored trees that speaks of Fall, but also the intimate details that are found along the way.

Today is the day that the boats must be removed from the water at the lake. Beginning tomorrow, all remnants of summer will be removed – docks, buoys, and these rope floats. These are the floats that separate the swimming area from the boating/water skiing area on the water. Such a contrast seeing them with the reflected color from the trees. I’m thankful that the boats and docks were allowed to be left in the water a little longer this year as they make a nice focal point for Fall photoraphy. I spent a little while photographing before sunset yesterday enjoying the last light of the day.

We interrupt your regularly scheduled dog photo of the day to present a little splash of Fall color. The air is cool, the humidity is gone, and there is so much to photograph at this time of year! I was out for a walk today and the trees are showing some hints of color! I photographed this pretty red maple leaf just where it fell …. on the boat dock at the lake! Enjoy the season everyone!
