(Almost) Wordless Wednesday

A small reflection of summer 2011...

Little chapel on Lost Island Lake

Holly on a boat ride

Busy beaches along the shores of the lake

Hot summer days!

Lots of fun!

Lots of friends!

Lots of entertainment!

The gathering at the shoreline...

The removing of the docks... signaling the end of summer.

Thanks for visiting!

Weekend on the Water #1

I thought I'd post some photos from our lake after each weekend throughout the summer. A kind of "mini tour" of the lake that we live on... 

Here is "Weekend on the Water #1" 

Enjoy! 
 

Three families of geese cruising the north side of the lake. Very friendly geese!

A handful of water-skiers were out this weekend!

The swimming beach is beginning to get busy...

Same boat -- different water-skier (ya show off!)

My favorite photo from this weekend! You can see the goose's legs in the water.

And... they left.

Tree-lined road going around the lake by the Nature Center and camping area.
If you enjoy birdwatching -- this is a great place to go!

One of my favorite spots on the lake -- my own patio.

Enjoying one of my favorite snacks -- salt water taffy!

It doesn't get much more relaxing than that!

More water sports -- this guy was pretty intense.

Redwood Resort area

Love the Iowa skies!

Thanks for visiting!

The boat is in the water!

We have finally launched the boat for the summer! The official date we rolled it in was May 26. It's also officially the latest we have ever waited to do so. It has been such a cold and rainy spring! Usually the boat hits the water sometime in mid-April.

Since launching on May 26, we have not had a nice enough day to take it out again! Maybe this weekend will bring some calm and warm weather.

Join me on a ride...

Welcome to our house! You can see the sunporch on the upper level. Behind our house, you can see the garage and guest house we built.

Holly loves to go for boat rides... We are slowly cruising the north side of the lake in our pontoon boat. Fun to see the activity as docks, boats and hoists are going into the water!

Here is the eagle carving from the other side. You can read about the eagle here and here. 

A grouping of fishing boats. They were pulling in lots of fish today!

Holly watching the shoreline. Not many boats are in yet. Only one can be seen in this photo and usually every house has at least one boat.

This is such a beautiful time of year when the trees are so pretty and green.

Water-skier drive-by.

Holly has her own stash of toys on the boat.

And she loves playing with them when she gets tired of the view!

Calm water approaching the swimming area.

Not many swimmers yet. This place will be full of people on hot summer days...

Great day to be cruising on the water. Another fishing boat is coming in for the evening.
Check out that Iowa sky! 
This kind of a day -- and this view -- is why I named my blog "Adrift on the Lake"

Thanks for reading!
