The Language of the Lake

We spent Friday through Sunday in a rustic cabin on Lake George in upstate New York where Tiho served as a groomsman in the casual afternoon wedding of his former roommate. On the eve before the festivities, he went out for a drink with the groom and other attendants while I walked out to the docks with my camera for a lesson in solitude.

The reflection of the cabin lights on the water looked like glittering confetti. I felt tempted to scoop it up and put it in my pocket for safekeeping.

    That looks like a perfect place to spend a Friday evening. There's something about lakes, particularly at night, that's always so calming, don't you think? Happy Monday, my dear!

    That looks like a little piece of heaven right there. I love what you wrote about the lights on the water, and scooping them up... Magical.

    Happy Monday! Are you ready for tomorrow? Gulp!

    Beautiful. Number three is so relaxing to look at, I can almost hear the water lapping against the shore.

    I love the different tones in the last lot of lights shot - so pretty. Good luck with your week ahead.

    These photos are stunning-you make me feel like the East Coast isn't quite as far away. Sounds like it was the perfect weekend, and I hope today is divine!

    Oh my, my, my. I would like to visit this magical little place. While I live in a place with many lakes, I haven't gotten to visit one in WAY too long. But this is almost as good as seeing one live and in person. :)

    @Erin & Susan, yes first official day is tomorrow, though this week is still set up/meetings/individual family visits. I'll have my class of kiddos next week!

    Everyone, thanks so much for the kind comments. I'm finally getting the hang of shooting nighttime photos :)
