Back on the Lake!

Its been too long.  I’m sorry to have been away so long.  But, it is finally spring at the lake.  These were taken two weeks ago, Mother’s Day weekend.  I hope these are the beginning of a great summer at the lake.

Its kind of a photo-dump, but here ya go.

Swans and I haven’t always gotten along (long story), but this one and its mate gave me wide berth.

There were lots of turtles.  I think there are 15 turtles in a couple of these photos.  How many can you count?

This was one of the two eagles we saw that morning.  A mature eagle soared overhead and this young one watched us from a tree.

Spring is here!
