October Paddling with a Camera
I had some big plans for paddling in October, but I ended up just paddling my local waters near Fort Collins. I was paddling my Thunderbolt kayak on Beaver Pond in Arapaho Natural Area and on Lonetree Reservoir.
First days of October were promising nice fall colors.
Then, the first attack of winter came with very low night temperatures.
All leaves on trees turned brown. No fall colors this year …
2nd winter attack with a big snow storm. It was a lot of snow in Fort Collins, but weather was warm and snow melted quickly.
The last day of October I spent paddling on Beaver Pond again.
After paddling I did some walking around the pond with my “big” camera, Canon 5D mark II.
I noticed that a new Walmart Supercenter at Timnath on the other side of I-25 highway
is showing up in my pictures from the Beaver Pond …
Here is a selection of my October posts from the last three years. You can find much nicer fall colors from northern Colorado there.
