An October walk

Went for a very long and very lovely walk in Frontenac State Park Sunday with my good hiking and birdwatching pal Heather M., who took these photos: Everywhere, the sumac was brilliant.
By Pleasant Lake (that little lake near New Frontenac), we encountered this puzzling sign, which originally said something about "wildlife something-or-other."
We climbed the big hill. Whew! Took a little rest at Eagle Point, 2/3 of the way up. Didn't see any eagles, but saw lots of other interesting and beautiful things, as always in the park.
Many a lightning-blasted tree stood charred on the south side of the big bluff. Some fierce storms must descend on that hill now and then.
The sun sets and the deer come forth. Here two does flipped their tails at Heather as she took photos.
