Fall’s Remains

  The remains of the paper nest made by Hornets hang high in the bough of a tree at Rose Lake.
Prediction of a very deep, snowy winter?

Only seed heads of spent native blooms surround the lake now.

Along with the browned grasses and remaining seeds of Queen Anne's Lace flowers.

The leaves have all fallen and cold winds now replace the constant mild breezes that come across the lake all summer long, making the lake look cold and barren if not for the pines.
