Description
The cumulus clouds were boiling over Red Horse Lake. I was out for a multi-lake paddle in my kayak enjoying the beautiful autumn weather. The fall colours were appearing on the very steep western shore of the west basin of Red Horse Lake. The shadows from the cumulus were written on the forest of white pines, oak, hickory and maple. Unfortunately the butternut trees had all been wiped out by the blight. Butternut canker has been found throughout the range of butternut trees. The fungus creates a wound that appears as patches of small, long and sunken black blemishes on a tree. Other invasive species had already penetrated the Gananoque River system and had made it to Red Horse Lake. Some of the local land owners are doing their very best to preserve this endangered ecosystem.
The very few cottages on the west shore of Red Horse Lake had already been closed up for the season. I did not see anyone else out on the water. The loons had already left for the season.

The environment around Red Horse Lake is so very special and yet so very fragile. My paddle doesn't leave any footprints and I pick up every bit of garbage that I chance upon. Thank you Sunny.
