This is one of those misty mornings at the lake that leaves me awestruck surrounded by the beauty of nature, that so many of us simply take for granted. A quiet, early morning at the public dock has to be my favourite time of day at any time of year.
This gnarled old tree below quietly ‘speaks’ to me each time I pass by, with its heart in plain view if you happen to catch the perfect angle in the branch formations overhanging the water. I wonder how many people have passed it and even noticed the love that it is silently sending out? Well, we all need a little love and support during difficult times or just a gentle reminder of the beauty that surrounds us, so this heart’s for you!
Walking onto the dock and looking out towards the vast open expanse of water, the horizon is often blurred. Where does the sky meet the lake? The chevron pattern forming with the reflection of the clouds on the glassy surface…another moment to savor.
We do not live directly on the water but enjoy a fifteen second walk to it with our beach access being shared between a few homes. So this is our little bit of beach where in the summer we can swim, launch a kayak or the wee laddie can paddle in his wellies until it freezes. In winter this is where the snowshoes are put on once the ice is frozen. This morning looking out to Snake Island, it is definitely super chilly.
The photograph below is a favourite spot of mine for the gorgeous sunsets that this side of the lake is known for. I think it’s pretty special in the mornings too.
