Rain was predicted this morning; when it was overcast instead, I headed for the lake. First I got to admire this seagull claiming his rock...

.. then I found this young sugar maple still in glorious autumn color.

Then I walked on out to the point-- and heard and saw three loons way off in the distance. I've been trying to see a loon for 2 years now, and they're always way far away, or it's really dark, or foggy, and I never get a clear look or pic. This seemed like more of the same-- until another loon answered, from right behind me!
