Early summer on the Lake


























What's the lake like in early summer? It's peaceful, with the glow of the first blooms having given away to hardy seasonal sprays.

The surprise of butterflies brightens the storm-cloud leaden sky.

It's breathtaking in the early morning, as the dawn emerges through the trees.



It's vibrant, as storms and skies merge into one.


It's a gift of nature and patience from the long winter bundled into one. It's the hope of the hot weather, the afternoons in the sunshine, the lazy bending blooms of tiger lillies, and the lush green lawn and perennials against the deep blue sky.

It's the first glimpse of reconnecting to the green world after the long season of gray. We savor, soothe, and give thanks for these long days and pervasive smiles.
