Lake Ilsanjo, Annadel State Park, Santa Rosa, CA. As you can see, the fall colors in California are quite different, but still quite lovely, I think. Thanks to all who view and comment.
So much beauty here for the eye to explore; different colors, textures, contrasts. The sky is wonderful. Is the sky ever this blue in the summertime or does it just appear to be now because of all the wonderful autumnal colors that are warm against its coolness? Anyway, this is a great shot, Donna. I didn't even think that California was cool enough to have much fall. Thanks for this lovely post and good to see you.
You will be led to the knowledge of the internal things which are invisible to you, by the external things which you see before you. . . . Even so then, we can represent to ourselves in thought the Author of all that is, by contemplating and admiring the (visible) things which He has made, and ever brings into being.

Incredibly beautiful scene Donna, so much to look at, I could get lost in there all day and that little hint of path in the bottom corner is so enticing. Nicely done.
Anything that excites me for any reason, I will photograph; not searching for unusual subject matter, but making the commonplace unusual.
