Lakehouse on Oct. 13, 2007

View from below the construction line towards the lake. Note the tree scened is thinning as leaves are beginning to fall. A very dry and hot summer and fall has kept leaves from turning even into the middle of October.

View of the lake from the property line. Note the stone "shelf" at the bottom of the picture. This is where the waters are receding as the volume of the lake is deliberately lowered during the winter months. You can see where the homeowners have all pulled their docks out of the water onto the shore. Our builder told us that the Deep Creek area usually has its first snowfall around the middle of October.

Looking "down" the lake into one of the coves. Most boats are out of the water now; we saw only two out, one with fishermen, one towing a dock, while we were here. Note how far the water line has dropped.

The view "up" the lake to the left (towards the main lake). Just the faintest touch of color in the tops of the trees.
