Quirke, Ompa and Flack Lakes

Yesterday we went out again to three more lakes north of the city. It was the best day of the fall so far. It was gorgeous and sunny and 23 degrees C with just a hint of wind. Could not have asked for a better day. The forecast for next week is about 10 degrees cooler so I am thinking this may be the last really nice weekend.
The two photos above are of Quirke Lake.
All the trees are in their glory right now. Just about at their peak of color. I could have stopped every few feet to take pictures. It was almost overwhelming. I had taken a lot of pictures last fall and it would have been duplication so I fought the urge. Just took this one photo of a nice reddish orange tree against a brilliant blue sky.
The last four photos are Flack Lake. This is a nice spot. The lake is beautiful and there are trails beside the lake.
A nice picnic area alongside the lake. There's Bruce enjoying the scenery.
Tree framed photo.
You can see a faint reflection of the color from the trees in the lake.

I got thinking that it is hard to distinguish one lake from the other in these photos. And with so many lakes in this area one is just as special as another. I hope you are enjoying the Jewel in the Wilderness and all it has to offer.
