The season resembles a chimera type beast. The water temperature (72°F) suggests it's mid June. When the sun is out, it tastes like July. After the sun sets, it feels like early Fall. As long as the lake is flat and there's gas in the boat, I guess it really doesn't matter.
There's more water in the lake! Over two inches of rain fell early last week. By the end of the week, creeks and streams flowing into Lake Lucerne had all but dried up again. This was a very good week rain-wise but we need more sky water.
This picture has a bluer sky between white, puffy August clouds, sunlight dancing on the lake, and that raft with the fish under the pontoons thus tying the end of the summary to the beginning. I'll let you know which I went with when I figure it out. I really like the sun dancing on the water and the tying it all together aspect in this second picture but the metaphor thingy is a lot of fun. An image of some of the changing trees wasn't included in this week's update somewhat because of the strong sense of denial this site has toward the ending of Summer but mostly because we did not take a picture of the red and gold leaves in a few of the trees going into town. I'll get the picture next week for sure. Posting it will take a bit of therapy to get over the whole denying the end of Summer thing.
