After stoping at a number of pull outs along the main roadway in Brown County State Park, I continued to Ogle Lake and hiked the loop trail that goes around the lake.
At the end of the lake nearest the parking lot, I went off the trail down to the waters edge to get this image:
I walked along the edge of the lake towards the north until I got back to the official trail, where I stopped to photograph reflections in the lake.
There were not many others here today, so it was not difficult to keep a safe distance from others and I only had to standby occasionally to let others clear out of my compositions.
At least a couple of hikers asked what I was photographing. The first to ask seemed to think that there must be something special that was not apparent along the trail to photograph. The second was a photographer with a long lens. He was photographing birds and thought I must be doing the same. I guess we all have our own thoughts about what is worthy of photographing.
As I rounded the end of the lake and began to hike along the south side, I noted some very nice reflections on north side of the lake.
The reflections in the lake seemed to me to be the best images that I’ve gotten so far and I struggled to make interesting compositions for the rest of the hike.
That’s it for the Ogle Lake area,

Beautiful autumn images Ken. I especially like the first two. Great use of that foreground log in the first. I like the way there are some leaves on the surface in the second shot … it adds another layer and interest!
Thanks, Denise. That first image is a favorite of mine, too.
