Being on the restless side I headed east with no specific place to go or be. I ended up at the Environmental Learning Center and enjoyed a much-needed walk. Disappointed I did not see any deer but I did see the Great Horned Owl “whoooo” has been there all summer. Pretty much had the place to myself.
On my way home I could see a few clouds hanging over the mountains which offered hope for sunset colors. I pulled into the Kingfisher Point Natural Area parking lot. I have only been there one other time. It is primarily a fishing area with just under a miles worth of trails. No cars in the parking lot so I headed for the ponds.
The afternoon in the quiet of nature, the sunset, the persistent mosquitos and nats, the chilly fall air, all made me aware of how vital it is to be in nature for my health, both mentally and physically. It turned out to be just what the doctor ordered. The restless spirit has subsided and I slept like a baby.

Near perfect reflection without a ripple in sight. Almost looks like Photoshop trickery.

Not a breeze to be had. Another reason it was such a nice evening. Although a breeze would have reduced the mosquitos.

Looks like a great to spend a late summer evening.

I love how you have managed to come across so many photo opportunities so close to home. Gives me incentive to do better at that myself.
Great photo, too!

I think this area is good about that. We can also find the same thing in the mountains, Estes Park and Grand Lake, for example. But, we still have to get out and be there..
