Happy Monday! Wishing everyone a great day and new week ahead.
Hubby and I often take walks on our local fire roads in our neighborhood, we can also take side trails to the lake. The lake is a reservoir for Baltimore City's drinking water. These are some images from late Oct-Nov 2017. The state's DNR allows bow-hunting in this watershed area, trying to control the deer population. We have to pick and choose when we take our walks on the fire roads from Sept thru January and hunting season.
We often see Double-crested Cormorants at our lake, sometimes groups of them. On this day we just saw one perched on a tree branch sticking out of the water.
The Waxing Crescent moon on Oct 24th , I took this photo from my deck.

Oh the sun through the trees... YAM xx
Oh my Eileen, you get such wonderful shots of the moon. You must have a super camera. Always a pleasure to visit your blog. I wish you a beautiful new week.
So happy I can share this world with you.
:)
Take care along those fire roads Eileen. Seems strange from over over here that you have bow hunting along the same roads that people walk. Enjoy your week ahead.
That is a lovely place to walk by the lake. Your moon shot is glorious!
Hi Eileen,
marvelous photos of the season.I especially love the first one.
Best, Synnöve
Dearest Eileen; Happy Monday to you, too♪ What beautiful nature you are surrounded, I LOVE the sunlight and The Waxing Crescent. I wondered or thought that I need to check about the phenomenon(*^.^*)
Sending Lots of Love and Hugs from Japan to my Dear friend, xoxo Miyako*
Hello Eileen!!

Gorgeous scenery!Wonderful pictures!
At the first picture i love the great reflection and the beautiful colors!
Great shot of the moon!
Have a happy new week!
Dimi...
Our skies are full of birds right now, flocks migrating to the south. I recognize the cranes and the storks but not the smaller birds. And I love that photo of the moon! You must have a fantastic camera.

Those trees are absolutely amazing and the reservoir is so beautiful and I would love to walk there myself
The fall colors in your area are wonderful!
Hello,
I really love your moon photos. I guess you must have a wonderful camera. They are very beautiful.
Happy Monday, and have a nice new week!
Such a gorgeous place to walk, Eileen! Love those colorful reflections in the water! Make sure you wear your red plaid flannels during hunting season :) x Karen
A pretty place by the lake to walk and I am stunned by the beautiful moon shots.
Make sure you wear bright clothes during the hunting season!
oooooh eileen, that first picture is just stunning!!
the moon image as well, i love when the moon is at this stage!!!
That first photo is absolutely stunning.
What beautiful pictures and that moon has me speechless!!! WOW.
I hope you have had a great day. I love these pics...and the moon shot is awesome.
If I were you and I could I would get some hunter orange to wear if I was anywhere near during hunting season. Most hunters try to be safe, but my husband would not even hunt on opening day of gun season. Here there is turkey hunting during mushroom hunting season and there are places I will not go then even though they would be good for mushrooms.
A beautiful place to walk. The moon is gorgeous!
Such an incredible series of photos, Eileen. Fall has been perfectly beautiful as well here in NYC. Enjoy it while you can..
Love that pucture of the lake.
Eileen, these photos are so gorgeous. Love the reflections! Happy new week to you!
The fall colors are so gorgeous, especially when reflected on the water. You take absolutely beautiful walks.
Amazing place, Awesome pics.
Greetings.
You take the best moon shots, Eileen! Do you wear an orange fluorescent vest when you walk during hunting season? Many people wear them here when they go into the woods so they are not mistaken for a deer.
What gorgeous autumnal colours!
Oh glorious nature as captured magnificently.
Beautiful pictures Eileen, they are superb, but, the one I love is the moon, excellent.
nice place to have a walk. beautiful moon photo.
As always, the pictures are so beautiful Eileen, - wonderful shots of the moon - superb.
Enjoy the day

Beautiful Autumn color!
Have a wonderful day!
Wonderful pictures you take on that Fire Trail!
And the photo from the deck of the moon is perfect . . .
I noticed the Banana Moon as I looked up the other night too!
Your photos are magnificent, Eileen. What beautiful territory you live in. And that sky is a stunner!
Hello Eileen!
Just a gorgeous day for a walk! The fall colours were beautifully reflected in the lake!
Hope you have a great week!
I agree with Pat in Colorado. I have the same camera and my moon shots don't come close to yours. (even with your kind instructions) I'll just have to keep trying. Happy Day.
Wow! Beautiful and great photos!
a beautiful world, not yet wintertiem :)
Not sure I have heard of Double-crested Cormorants? Interesting!
Fabulous pictures here Eileen, my favourites are the first and last one ...
Hope you are having a good week.
All the best Jan
That first shot is beautiful. Lovely area. Great moonshot I have to take a lot of those to get a good one. Enjoy the rest of your week.
Very nice, it looks like a wonderful place to walk.
Eileen - I like the one with the sun shining through the trees ... so symbolic of the season coming to a close. And the moon shot - super!
Well, that is a beautiful reservoir. Glad you can enjoy it!
The colours make me sigh with pleasure.
Pleasant Autumn shades...
Have a good day!
What a beautiful photo of the moon, Eileen! It is absolutely amazing! Kisses, my friend.
I can well imagine that you would need to be careful when a bunch of hunters are walking around with bows. Just returned from Cuba last night, so starting to catch up. The Internet connection there was pretty poor.
Hi Eileen, As always, I so enjoy your photography. The moon shot is great! And that first photo, with the reflection ... well, you should get it printed up as a postcard. Just a great shot! Thanks for sharing and have a happy week. I always enjoy your blog. John
What wonderful, wonderful colours in your first photo! And your moon shot! Fantastic. I wish I had a proper camera these days, instead of just a cell phone, when I see photographs as magnificent as yours.
