In autumn the shores and waters of Lake Champlain seem to hold on to summer colors and textures quite a bit longer than do the surrounding areas. You can see fall higher up in the mountains all around, and in the changing angle of light on the water and islands, in the flocks of geese in motion, the rust and gold of grasses and some copses of trees-- yet there are those remaining suffused blues and grays of sky and water, and still so much green all around. Eventually November winds will strip away the late summer vestiges, and snow and ice are likely to take over. But in October it is the way the light strikes and suffuses that offers the truest sense of autumn.-KMB
