Before our first snowfall, I took these shots of the Lake Ontario Shoreline facing south toward the U.S. The above image has been cropped, as I wanted to removed the distraction of the wooden construction fence and slight debris that was in-frame.  I’m not sure if it takes away from the photo to have the bottom cropped in this way: it’s hard to say since I took the shot. I think that its difficult to remove yourself from the background history of something when you saw the steps of its production- kind of makes you impervious to seeing it from virgin eyes. (That is a digression).

I enjoyed this vista: the staggering of the trees across the shoreline gives a nice depth of field. I was able to capture quite a bit of video from the area: I spotted a red tailed chipmunk,  a woodpecker, and a grouse nearer to a creek in that linked to the lake. Lots of ducks and Geese got along swimmingly at the mouth of the creek, chilling and hanging out in the water and by the shore.

The above shot is the path leading in from the road to the lake. I always enjoy shots like this: a road leading away from or towards you. As the observer, it is up to you to decide.
