Violt Blue:
Funny you should mention this: I was watching a show on the Travel Channel tonight about peole who have experience with lakes and what they go thru as autumn gets a grip on them. I knew exactly what they meant. After decades of having a family home on a lake in Southwest Michigan, I have found that my favorite time to go there is late October into November. Anyone who has experience with lakes knows that they are a living, breathing entity. The water, the microscopic life in the water, the fish, crayfish, "seaweeds", the topography around the lake, the weather, wind currents, everything make a lake what it is, wether it is 500 acres or the size of Lake Superior. In Autumn everything changes..the lake responds to the change in the temperature, the wind direction, the lessening of sunlight. I've sat and watched it over and over again, and am constantly amazed by what I see. If you can appreciate the change in personality of a lake transitioning from summer to Autumn, you are able to appreciate more than most people can. Congratulations!
