A Day on the lake

After some hot sweaty car repair it’s time to cool off.

Paddling out on a float to investigate

Something odd floating out there. Turns out it’s a dead bloated groundhog. Ew.

Leaving a trail of destruction...
Leaving a trail of destruction…
Sneaking up on a floating mat
The shark closes in on its prey

Two people, two floaty toys. One person about to get wetter.
Why would I want to flip you?
Floating in the cool water.
Floating in the cool water.
Note the clean lines, the pointed toes gracefully extended.

A graceful entry to the water.

Trade for that puny noodle?

Aloft but not for long

Landing squarely on the mat

A bigger target requires a bigger bomb.

Just no way with that short run.

The elusive stairway to heaven?

Hang time

Lining up for a big punch

Right about here should do fine

The weather was perfect, the water still cool enough to be refreshing. Good company, good day.
