Reflection of Aspens and mist on the Crystal Lake, Colorado

I was at the beautiful Crystal Lake, Ouray, Colorado on October 4 around 9:30 am, as the air warmed up by the sun hit the cooler lake water surface, the mist formed on the water surface, added mystery of the reflections of Aspen trees. a group of ducks swam parallel to the water edge. The color of the scene is monochromatic but very rich.
