It was rising as it crossed the road.
I took a few shots before I headed to the lake to launch my boat.
The lake was ablaze with colors.
There were some areas that weren't as far along but just as beautiful.
This back bay was very special because I was pursuing a Great Blue Heron.
The Sun gave a nice reflective shot to the lake in the boat bay.

Nice balloon shots; it was really close! But I truly love the autumn colors! I can't believe the difference in color day to day in Missouri. It's easy to forget when not living in a place with colorful trees. Wonderful post!
