Bob and I have decided we need to catch a few
more days on the Lake before the summer is over.
Today was a gorgeous sunny day... just perfect.
We packed a picnic and headed out.
We had such a fun day together!
Here we are just motoring out
we took turns steering
we each put a line in and although at one
point we saw several large salmon jumping up out
of the water... no luck for us
ok.. that's a half hearted try... I know
I was more interested in the sun breaking out
Bob dangling his feet in the water
Can you see our friend in the top of the tree there?
We could hear him churl-tiling
and watching us :)
we love the loons making quick dashes in
and out of the water so slyly
we saw several float planes land
We stopped at the Islander for a lemonade
There she is .. I still have to pinch myself that Bob
actually made this boat from scratch... completely and
totally and it is a beauty! I am proud of him.
I love sitting up front and watching the peaceful
evening unfold... it was breathtaking.
Evening sky over the lake
ok this is Fireweed... the true way for Alaskans to tell when
summer is over. This flower blooms from the bottom up and
when it reaches the top... summer of over and
Fall will begin.
I took a close up... it is a sad thing to see it almost
reach to top... Oh we don't want this glorious summer to end!
