Sky Watch Friday # 48 - Lake Views

Sky Watch Friday is doing really well. Please check out the site and link in if you wish to participate. There were Mr. Linky problems last week but there were a lot of people with beautiful Sky photos. You can link in from my side bar or at the start of this post.

Triangle Lake can give some wonderful views and great reflections.
This was my first trip to Crystal Lake, isn't the dock amazing.
A view of Lake Hodgson looking at the dam.
Water and skies, how can you find a better message.

    Beautiful shots!
    Love the reflections. That lake must be very clear. The red clay base here makes everything murky.
    I like how they built a new dock and left the old one to rot and decay. :) It does make for a picturesque photo.

    You signed in late today - I was wondering about you.

    I hope you didn't walk on the dock.
    I really like the bottom picture. I'm a sucker for big puffy clouds in a blue sky.

    Fishing Guy, how are you doing? These must be the days you dream of when your boat is in dry dock. Nice relection in the first photo. I'm really glad the Skywatch meme is working correctly this weekend. You take it easy now.

    Oh, I love the reflecting water scenes, too! Many times looking like a fine painting. Looking back in your posts and you showed a Pufferbelly restaurant. Back near my hometown... Middleburg Hts. had a Pufferbelly Restaurant,too. I really enjoyed going there, that might be closer to you!
