View from the Lake

Despite all sorts of things to write about on this blog, I've been sort of distracted by other things: building another (and final?) part of the deck, working on a cold-storage room in the basement, gardening, and so on....

Enough excuses. A few days ago when it was very hot, we took an hour or so for a canoe down on Kootenay Lake. This is the view looking north from the lake just south of our location. We're probably two-thirds up along a 60-mile long lake which runs from Creston in the south (only miles from the USA border) north to Meadow Creek. This is the lake in one of its placid moods. Today, by way of contrast, is exceptionally windy with whitecaps on the lake. Not a good day for canoeing today.
