It was late afternoon on a cloudy day. A calm lake gave a perfect reflection of a boat house with pink roof as main subject that was surrounding in fall colour on the water surface of Mary Lake. Mary Lake - It is equally as beautiful as the areas around the big three lakes in Muskoka. This is Muskoka River flows out of Mary Lake. There is a considerable amount of history on these lakes and they tend to be populated by quaint cottages instead of the ostentatious McMansions on the larger lakes. I highly recommend visits to the area.

Ten thousand years ago, Mayflower Lake was a small bay in a large glacial lake. Today it is a small, deep, spring-fed lake. Its cold, clear waters provide ideal habitat for cold water fish such as Rainbow Trout. This trail has several lengthy climbs and descents over the hills surrounding Mayflower Lake and can be muddy, so wear your hiking boots.

Onnetō Lake is a part of Akan National Park in Ashoro, Hokkaido. "Onneto" means old pond or big pond in the aboriginal Ainu language. The lake with a circumference of 2.5 km was created when the river was dammed up due to the volcanic eruption of Mt. Meakan-dake. Due to high acidity levels, fish can’t live in the lake but ezo salamander and crawfish can.

Since the surface of Lake Onneto beautifully changes color from light blue to green and dark blue, depending on the time of day or the season, the lake is also called Goshikinuma. Along with Okotanpe Lake and Shinonome Lake, the lake is considered one of the three major mystery lakes in Hokkaido. Lake Onnetō (オンネトー), from the Ainu onne (ancient) and to (lake), is a freshwater lake near Ashoro in Akan National Park, Hokkaidō, Japan.

PURE NATURAL BEAUTY Mitre Peak, towering over Milford Sound

Deep within Fiordland National Park lies Milford Sound, New Zealand’s most stunning natural attraction. With its magical combination of mountain peaks, ink-dark waters and superb dramatic forest-clad cliffs, it must be seen to be believed. Milford Sound / Piopiotahi is a fiord in the south west of New Zealand's South Island within Fiordland National Park, Piopiotahi (Milford Sound) Marine Reserve, and the Te Wahipounamu World Heritage site.

At 1690M above sea level of Iconic Mitre Peak, it's one of the highest mountains in the world raising straight out of sea! It's also definitely one of the most photogenic points in all of New Zealand.

Along the Spring Creek Trail, there were countless dreamy vista that I could capture. Here was another one.

The breath of sweet nature plays in the blue, up here in the sky that hugs valleys, mountains, glacier and lake just the same. Crowfoot Glacier under the dramatic sky was sitting at the far end behind Crowfoot Mountain while the Bow Lake was between the montain from where I shot this image.
