Summer Idyll

With the holiday weekend over, 

all the lake cabin owners departed for home in the big city.

That left the lake quiet and peaceful.

Now, we are greeted in the morning with loon calls, 

an eagle gliding low along the lake,

 and turtles lingering in the shallows.

I decided to wander over to our neighbor's property

 to capture their funky colored rowboat and its interesting details.

Next, I stopped to study the design of cattails and their meandering reflections -

experimenting with different aperture and shutter speed combinations.

As the sun sank lower on the horizon,

wave and lily pad patterns demanded attention.

And finally, an impressionist vision of the day.  

This is more about memory and imagination than reality!
