a mary lake day


us girls had a day in the boat with my dad. it was just about the hottest and sunniest day so far this summer...we've been waiting for this day. i packed a lunch and we went cruisin'.


it begins with a little river which takes us past our swimming hole. lots of old pine, cedar and white birch trees. very pretty.


then it opens up to mary lake. lots of cottages, but still much of it is untouched. my photos do it no justice...the scale is somehow lost. this island it actually quite large...it's trees are giants.



it's so nice to be on the water...so much blue. the freshest air. a very hot sun. despite the lotion we ended up pink later in the evening...just like the sky...

I was just thinking the same thing :) my dad once mentioned Mary lake. I really need to ask him where the place is that he is thinking of buying. The photos look so much like the one my dad has from when he was a kid. Beautiful country!!
