Autumn Light Photography Walks
Join us for several "Autumn Light" Photography Walks at beautiful Reflections
Lake, lead by APH president, artist and photographer, Kris Abshire. Enjoy the
lake trail during the seasonal change as it reflects the rich colors of fall and
watch for migrating bird species and year-round residents, such as moose, as
they prepare for winter. Dress for the weather. Bring any camera you have, or
just come enjoy the walk; binoculars recommended. Water and a snack suggested.
To capture the warmth and beauty of the afternoon equinox moods and light,
"Autumn Light" walks will be held on 3 separate dates.
