Flannery Lake is My Happy Place

Back from another week up north. This time I could swim, and oh it was wonderful.

This pic captures the almost-infinite subtle grays and greens, near 7am on a mid-August morning. Air temp is 60°F/16°C, while water temp is 70°F/21°C and therefore just lovely for a swim. When we swim in the afternoon, the sun creates a warm zone in the top four inches.

Lake shoreline mirrors dark green conifers in the foggy horizon. Above the fog a blue sky glows out from the pink dawn haze, while the lake extends its glassy surface into a dark green shade near shore. Turned sideways, the trees and their reflection look like a Rorschach inkblot.
