Autumn day on the Lake

I had the pleasure of spending the day on Winnipesaukee with a friend yesterday. We spent the day fishing and most of our time was North and East of Middle Ground. We likely entered nearly every cove from the Cow Island area all the way up to and including the Lee's Mills are. There was certainly a lack of pleasure boaters. We did see the Winnipesaukee Bell with a large party on board = sign said it was a birthday party- they couldn't have asked for a better day. For anyone who missed it, the colors gave everyone a real treat. The reflection of the colors made it appear as if there was no horizon = the reflection blended the water with the hillsides and mountains. The fishing was a bit tough but the majestic show of natures best was nothing short of breathtaking and extremely relaxing. My friend Joe and I are probably in the background of a large amount of pictures taken by a group of leaf peepers. We happened to be fishing in front of the docks at 19 mile when a tour bus stopped to give the passengers a chance to take pictures of the colors bouncing off Chase & Loon Islands, with the Graveyard & Moultonborough in the background.

Hopefully someone on this site managed to get some pictures of the colors on the lake that they can post for all to see.
