It was a beautiful morning to be on the lake.  After a few windy days, the lake was very calm. 

We saw a trio of juvenile green herons this morning.  We haven’t seen any green herons in a couple years.  These were clearly young and without the mature coloration.  

And, surprisingly, we saw a great blue heron as well.  Not a great photo, but I did capture it in flight.

There were a few water lilies open this morning.  

There were very few turtles sunning themselves this morning.  I love the reflection of this one.

We saw our neighbors water skiing.  You make it look so easy.

We followed a kingfisher along the shoreline.  It finally lingered long enough for me to get a couple shots.  The second photo was taken just as it took flight.

Although we heard a loon, we didn’t see one until we were just off our shore.  Here are Mamma and Baby.  Baby is growing.

Its a beautiful day to be on the lake.  I hope you get to enjoy everything that nature presents.
