Just beyond Lewey Lake at the base of Snowy Mountain we spotted a flock of wild turkeys. Unfortunately I had not reset my camera and fumbled getting ready to shoot as the turkeys moved away, toward some thick vegetation. I also began shooting before I had settled down and as a result most of the images were blurred. Incredibly the first and last images were usable, the rest were discarded. Things were looking up, now the day would not be a bust!
Arrived at Cedar River Flow gate at 11:45 A.M., signed the register then began the drive towards our destination, the beaver meadow at the terminus of Indian Lake Road. We noticed how quiet it was this this morning. Passed a few occupied campsites along the way as we enjoyed a midday snack, apple fritters.
It was 2 P.M. when we arrived at the end of the road and the beaver meadow. All day it looked like it was about to rain, and it did once for just a few minutes. Walked down to the meadow to look the situation over. The overcast light toned down the contrast, so I was certain the results would be good.
Set up my panorama gear then proceeded to shoot two nine image panorama series for stitching together using Photoshop. Next I shot two images of the decaying beaver lodge. I finished the day shooting three images of the stump detail.

The trees at the higher elevations were sporting their beautiful autumn colors. A Great day!
