Saviour the calls of the loons as they fish for their meals in the lake or sing during the evening hours.
Fall means watching the numerous speciese of trees surrounding the studio change color. Bright reds, oranges and yellows. Sweater weather is lovely here and you can watch the sunset or fish from the dock which is removed for winter at the end of October.
