Favorite Foto Friday

Today's theme is "Our Lake". We are very lucky to have this cute house on a little, private lake. It is beautiful in every season and constantly changing. My favorite time is first thing in the morning. Sometimes there is mist/fog right on the surface and the water is flat and clear like glass.

The lake is about 60 feet at its deepest point and most of the time it is really clear. There are many different kinds of fish and other wildlife that make the lake their home. The area right in front of our house has a shallow section I call the "sand bar". At some times of the year the "sandy" bottom is visible when the water level is low. This winter, a huge log got stuck there and the geese and ducks seem to like to sun themselves on it. This is the view from our deck. There are 15 houses on our side of the lake. On the opposite side there is a bike and hike trail so our view is of trees. In this picture, our house is the tan one in the middle with the cedar deck.
