Our week at the lake brought some much needed peace and quiet, and it is always a little freeing being forced to break away from technology for a spell. Most of the time we were out of cell reception, allowing us to fully connect with the nature surrounding us and the present moment.
On the last day I was determined to shoot this little photo story, involving raking a bunch of muck out of the lake, hours blowing up and deflating the pool float, and precariously hanging off the end of the dock while my husband got that main shot — while standing on the other end of the rake! And yes, I can swim, but the water was full of weeds all around those beautiful little lily pads, so I didn't want to have to fall in to get back!!
