A Day At The Lake

I went to Douglas Lake with friends yesterday.  We were supposed to go to day but a last-minute switch was made when the forecast called for thunderstorms. 

It was a beautiful day.  They've already started lowering the water, so somehow my favorite pictures were of the clouds. 

That seems to have been a theme of late.

But of course there was also food and relaxation.

And swimming.  I can't believe this is the first time I've been in the water this season.  But then although I can swim, I really prefer to bob about.

This lonely kudzu-covered tree at the launching site captured my imagination. 

I'm back at the lake today.  It seems I need another day of summer and water. Supposedly the thunderstorms won't be until late.  Here's hoping.
