Lakes

I am thankful for lakes, or any body of water, for that matter. Lakes have both scenic and recreational qualities. My interest is in photographing them. Other people like to swim, boat, or water ski. And lakes attract many a variety of water fowls.

This is a photo of Lake Martin near Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. It is indeed a beautiful setting and also is sanctuary to many birds. This isolated kayak was one of several that were apparently receiving lessons from an instructor on the proper way to kayak. I captured him along with the lone cypress just as the sun was setting in the west.

lakes

a lake is defined as a body of water

which is surrounded by land

it can be differentiated from a pond

in that a lake is more grand

but it is all relative

in a relativistic way

i choose to call a lake

one in which you can swim and play.
