Boat Trails

Labor Day weekend brings the end of summer and with it the end of another season on the lake. While there's plenty of good boating weather left in September it seems that most people are distracted toward other activities and so the crowds thin out very quickly. I like our lake in September. There's often fog in the morning, the fishing is great and the colors of sunrise are crisp as cold mornings become more the norm and a sign of things to come.

It's autumn in SE Wisconsin and the colors have just been phenomenal this year.  This weekend I traveled with a group to Holy Hill.  Holy Hill is located on the highest elevation in this part of the state.  Situated on 435 acres of rural countryside, it provides visitors with the opportunity for spiritual enrichment.   The grounds are beautiful, serene and peaceful.

The main church is currently covered with scaffolding as part of a restoration project.  However, walking through the wooded grounds with the striking colors of autumn was wonderful.  The fact that the weather was equally wonderful certainly helped.  Posted here are some images from that walk.
