The golden hour of day at the golden time of year.
I have often seen great blue herons fishing in this stretch of reeds along the Huron River, but not on this particular day.

Down at the lakeside.

Late November.  Winter hasn't officially begun.  There had been a snowfall of several inches, apparently, and most of the lake surface had a thin layer of ice.
