Picnic At Silver Lake - Ahhh Summer



After all that snow last week I thought it would be fun to visit the lake, like we did last summer. This was a wonderfully warm and sunny day last September - everyone was enjoying the lake.


It is Silver Lake County Park, about an hour away - there is picnicking, swimming, boating, camping and snug little cabins to rent.



Peaceful and calm. The buildings across the lake are the lodge and a larger cabin that groups and families can rent.


Some boys were enjoying a day of jumping off the dock . . .




Splash!


Getting ready for a kayak ride . . .




Lots of kayaks and canoes that day . . .

The view from our picnic table . . .



Taking the dog along . . .


I was hoping to see a hawk in this old dead tree - we had seen one before, but not today, just the lovely old tree . . .


Ahhh summer, where are you planning a picnic next summer - never to early to start planning.

A Trip To Birch Bay and Blaine


From the waterfront in Blaine, WA you can see across to Whiterock, BC - barely . . .


Let's take a closer look . . .

Oh now I see it - houses - big towering buildings - even the old water tower . . .


Do you see that heron out there among the Canada Geese?

Yes, that heron . . .


Such a beautiful bird . . .




Canada Geese passing through . . .



Must be feeding time . . .



And bath time . . .




Walking about and visiting time . . .









Seagulls - also on the beach at Blaine . . .






Gotta love that new camera!



Good bye!
