The Lake House

                                                                                                          

Because of all the trips I have taken around the sun, 80 of them to be specific, the family decided that this year we should all get together and celebrate the milestone.  Also, so many family members have been born in July so this was a celebration for all those born this month.  So Amy and Liz did  their "thing" and found this wonderful house on a lake in Connecticut.  So we are really excited to be spending the week here, and family members from New York State and Massachusetts, and Connecticut will be joining us here for a day throughout the week

So today we took advantage of the collection of canoes and kayaks that come with the house.  Liz and I went out for a canoe ride this morning and paddled to the southern end of the lake, which was fun.  We are having beautiful weather with blue skies, cumulus clouds, and a nice breeze.

A few hours later, Karen McAvoy and her daughter Jessica arrived from Rochester .  So the two of them and Liz and Amy set off on a trip around the lake as well. So I used my 400mm lens to photograph the paddlers and a view of the lake.
