EARLY NOVEMBER ~ 'Wa-gi-daa-king' (Hubbard Lake)

"A few days ago I walked along the edge of the lake
and was treated to the crunch and rustle of leaves with each step I made.
The acoustics of this season are different and all sounds,
no matter how hushed, are as crisp as autumn air. "
- Eric Sloane
