Each year we spend a few wonderful weeks up at a lake in the northern part of the Adirondacks. Its a place to get away, and a place to relax.We were up over the holiday this past weekend for our annual closing of camp. Our little cabin on the lake is a summer house with no insulation which means we only spend warm weather months there.
So in the winter we board it up and wait for next year. I'm always sad when we go up to close, but we had an absolutely glorious day on Saturday and enjoyed every last minute out on the porch until the sun set.By Sunday morning the rains had set in as we got busy with all the various tasks it takes to close up the camp. We did get out for a couple of great pictures before the rain. We had a nice showing of the local birds. My older daughter got a shot of the mergansers sitting on the end of the neighbors dock. And we heard lots of loon calls, which are my absolute favorite.
The girls got a last look at the lake before the cold sets in and the lake completely freezes over for winter. So, until next year...
What a beautiful area! Love the sunset :)
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a peaceful area. Your photos are lovely!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool lake! I've never seen a frozen lake and it's difficult for me to even imagine.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like utopia in terms of peace! I'm sure the girls will carry on the tradition of spending time at the lake with their families when the time comes. :)
ReplyDeleteYour picture of the sunset, and your mention of the loons, reminds me of a favorite movie, "On Golden Pond"! Glad you had a good time and made some lovely memories! Just think, it will be Christmas before you know it!!! Time flies!

Your photos are gorgeous! What a spectacular view. It is kind of sad to close down your summer home, but it's something to look forward to for next year.
ReplyDeleteit is so hard to believe another season has passed. it is always the one to g the quickest, isn't it? these are gorgeous photos...such depth in their feel. Hope you all had a good summer!
ReplyDeleteWow, these pictures are beautiful! I'm looking into renting a cabin for a weekend in the winter. We haven't been on vacation in years and it would be nice to have our first family trip!
ReplyDeleteThe Adirondacks are our favorite place too! We vacation there every summer. We spend most of our time in Inlet and Old Forge.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous pictures! Gorgeous area! Yes, Autumn and Winter are coming!
ReplyDeleteYour first photo is absolutely gorgeous! And I love the pics of your girls :)
ReplyDeleteIt does look very peaceful. Love the sunset photo, it is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI can imagine it would be incredibly cold up there during the winter months. Makes one wonder how people managed to survive long before the age of insulation and central heat and air
Oh wow what a nice place! I am sure to look forward to it every year. Cheers my friend.
ReplyDeleteI just love these shots! Cool pics of your girls, too - what memories and what feelings that go with these. That sunset one is just amazing!
