Saturday at the Lake

Saturday morning was a cool one with temperatures near 5C! The air was colder than the water, resulting in a light mist over the lake. By the time I'd grabbed the camera and climbed half-way down the hill, most of the mist had evaporated. You can see just a hint of it here:                                                                               
Can you see the 'head' of the turtle, half in shadow, on Turtle Island? Turtles actually climb up the granite to deposit their eggs in the sand, found in a few depressions in the rock.

Saturday was a fine day: sunshine, a cool breeze, and not too hot.

After supper, DH, dog, and I climbed into the canoe and paddled around part of Bradley Lake. Here's what we saw:





Pink granite rising out of the water.








green trees reflected in the blue
Clouds 'behind' the trees.
The rocky edge of Blueberry Island.The granite ranges from Pink to dark grey, and here shows what looks like a streak of blue. It's probably just lichen.

A rocky ledge disappears into deep water.
Clouds began to gather.
                                                                                           Then spread across the sky.
The shadows deepened, and it was time to return home.















Hope you had a wonderful Saturday.
Thanks for visiting.
Hugs from Suz
