Today is Columbus Day, so the we decided to do some nautical adventuring this weekend in his honor. The wife and I loaded up her kayak and hitched my barge to the truck, and we did a little paddling on the lake.
It was a wonderfully warm fall day. There was not a cloud in the sky and the water was quite calm. Better yet, the leaves have started to change colors, so I spent most of the day drifting slowly about, taking pictures with my phone.
There is a shallow section in the middle of the lake. Someone stacked stones in this area, possibly as a warning to boaters. I have seen a bald eagle perched on the top of these stones, so it seems to serve multiple purposes. Unfortunately, we got a bit of a late start on the day, so we missed most of the good birding opportunities.
It was not a bad way to enjoy the day. Unfortunately, I can't waste too much time because I need to chop up some poplar trees that fell down, mow the pastures, and get ready to re-seed them next week. Always something to do on the farm.

Nice pictures! A day on the lake (or the farm) is always a good day.
