What a magnificent view my husband's uncle had of Island Lake! Though he was in his nineties, he loved living at the lake year round and at least once or twice each summer we packed up a picnic to share with Uncle Archie. We enjoyed visiting and watching what was going on around the lake from such a beautiful vantage point. Sadly he passed away last summer and his property has been sold to a family whose view includes their parent's house across the lake. I'm sure they're enjoying being just a boat ride or swim away from each other. Please consider a visit to
Vee's to see what summer themes have been chosen for this month's
Note Card Party. Enjoy your summer days!
What a picturesque place! Nice shots!

This are lovely views of Island Lake, Sheila. The water looks so cool and refreshing.
ReplyDeleteThat's beautiful - so sad about your uncle - I know you'll miss him and going out to that gorgeous lake!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty area. At least you have some nice memories of the lake and your uncle. Love the view thru the parting of the evergreens.
ReplyDeleteOhhh, an era ends I see. Glad that you have these wonderful photos to remember that special place by. It's a beautiful lake and how nice to know that someone else's time there is just beginning. I'm sure that they will cherish it. It makes me want to read E.B. White's "Once More To the Lake" again.
