Peaceful September Morning at Glen Lake

It's another beautiful morning at Glen Lake. As I took my morning walk, I decided not to plug into my iPod but to listen to the stillness of the post Labor Day morning. After Labor Day the crowds thin out Up North. But while there are less people, there are still many others to share the morning with me. I heard the rustle of the leaves as they conversed with the mild southwest wind. I heard from up in the woods the caw-caw of the crows. The ducks quacked and the Canada geese honked. There was even a distant plaintive cry of the lone gull. My favorite was the clicking chirp of the kingfisher. The rising sun was warming the land. Pure peace!
