The first morning I walked down to the edge of the water...amazed at how calm it was. Now when I was younger and was really into waterskiing, this smooth water was a skiier's dream. Didn't matter too much how cold the water or the air was, this was the ultimate scenario for me. We sold our boat a few years ago when the kids grew up and we started having to force ourselves to ski....but this scene made me think..hummm I think I could enjoy a ski at the moment....okay snapping back to reality, I took sometime to just simply watch nature here. The crowds are gone after labor day, so I could immerse myself in thought and reflection.
I watched with wonder this flock of Canadian Geese as they meandered down to the water for a bath I am assuming. I had never seen this ritual, but they almost went into a frenzy, then they all went under water at the same time time for about 5-10 seconds, then all popped up the same time. Then they took turns rolling over on their backs flopping their wings. After 15 minutes or so, they paraded back up to the shore. Interesting....
Later in the day my daughter and son in law showed up with my 2 sweet little granddaughters, and of course nana had to take some photos. They stayed for a lovely BBQ of juicy burgers on a perfect evening!

The next day we returned home, and of course I had a ton of email to take care of, but I am recharged and so glad I got to rest!

This is so beautiful and serene. The water already looks cold! I love being by the water...and it is always nice at our cottage after the frenzy of summer tourists have long gone home and things are quiet again and I feel at one with nature.

Debbi, your granddaughters are adorable and your trip sounds wonderful. I love the water, Oceans, lakes, streams, love them all.
I love nothing more than being at the lake after all the crowds are gone.
Lovely granddaughter! Nothing better than being a grandmother.
Hi Debbi, glad you "scheduled" that trip. Looks like heaven. I love to see the geese on the lake and flying overhead in their V. They have been around here so much I can almost recognize what their various calls mean. Have a happy week. xox Lynn
