It is a Tuesday in mid October. All the families and their children have gone back to the city.
Mosquito season is over. Not a single breath of wind disturbs the leaves that will soon blanket the woods and meadows.
The only human stirring along the edge of the little lake is me! I capture the Peace and Tranquility with my camera, then, I do what the Grandchildren would expect me to do. I throw rocks in the water.

My Similar Cabin Story: Weekly Photo Challenge – Opportunity
Madman
/ January 14, 2012Another gorgeous picture by Margie ♡ I love it…
Margie
/ January 14, 2012Thanks Madman – I’m looking forward to being able to read your blog in English!
Madman
/ January 18, 2012Margie, I started adding an English text to my articles. Hope it helps
Margie
/ January 19, 2012Hi Madman – Now I’ll be able to read the text besides admiring the photos! I can’t help but understand a certain amount of French because all Canadian product packaging has to be labeled in French and English. But I didn’t learn the French language in school – the French component of our country lives 2900 kilometers away!

Margie
/ January 14, 2012Thanks Ruth – I’m sure the dog in your photo would have loved a dip in my lake!
rutheh
/ January 14, 2012I have forwarded your blog to two Canadian friends and they are enjoying reading your posts now. Yes, he would love to splash and romp in your lake but then it wouldn’t be peaceful anymore, would it?
Margie
/ January 15, 2012Yes, Ruth, it wouldn’t be so peaceful any more, but I’m sure it would be fun.

Margie

Ronnie/Hurtled to 60
/ January 14, 2012The reflection of trees in still water is a very peaceful thing -so lovely!
Margie

ntexas99
/ January 14, 2012what a beautifully serene spot … loved the “mosquito season is over” reference!
Margie
/ January 14, 2012Hi ntexas – Many people don’t realize the impact mosquito season has on us folks!

/ January 14, 2012Hi,
I love photos that show the reflections of nature in the water, they always look magnificent, and your photo shows these reflections brilliantly, very nice.
Who can resist trying to skim stones across the water, I’m sure it is built into our DNA.
Margie
/ January 14, 2012Hi Mags – I think you are right – water and stones are meant to be united!
Brenda Spiller
/ January 14, 2012What a lovely spot
there’s something about water, isn’t there. Very soothing.
Margie
/ January 14, 2012Welcome to my blog, Brenda. Water is deceptive stuff, isn’t it! So soothing, yet so full of potential for other things!

/ January 14, 2012I love pictures of reflections in water….this is beautiful. Till that rock comes skipping by
Margie
/ January 14, 2012Hi winsomebella – I like rocks that skip, but I love big rocks that splash.
Fergiemoto
/ January 14, 2012Beautiful – I really like the crystal clear reflection. Such a crisp photo.
Margie
/ January 15, 2012Hi Fergie – I liked the water reflections in your mountain photo too!
Northern Narratives
/ January 14, 2012A beautiful place and no mosquitoes
Margie
/ January 15, 2012Hi NN – I expect you understand the world of mosquitoes as well as we do!
E.C.
/ January 14, 2012Awesome photo for the challenge. That’s a beautiful lake and the colors you captured are magnificent. I got a good chuckle from your tossing rocks in it. Such good fun! lol
Margie
/ January 15, 2012Hi EC – It is a very shallow lake, so maybe that is what gives the water so much colour!
montucky
/ January 14, 2012That’s a great photo of a beautiful scene!
Margie
/ January 15, 2012Thanks montucky. I loved your recent moon photo!

Marcie

Margie
/ January 15, 2012Thanks Marcie – Your winter tree photo was very peaceful and serene too!
Barb
/ January 16, 2012It finally snowed here. Just a bit and i found I was so disappointed when it melted by noon. It’s nice to have a change in the weather. So I found this photo a nice pause in my day. In the midst of a still dark winter, I was ready for crickets and lakes.
Margie
/ January 16, 2012Hi Barb – I think I’d like to live some place where the snow melts by noon! No, maybe I’d like to live someplace where it doesn’t snow. In all honesty, I’d miss the change in the seasons, though!

Barbara Albright
/ January 17, 2012Yep – grandkids keep it real. Not too much stillness with them close by.
Margie
/ January 17, 2012Hi Barbara – The grandchildren are one of the reasons we have the cabin, and though we enjoy the quiet when they aren’t there, it sure is a lot more fun when they are there!
Cris
/ January 17, 2012Very idyllic.
Margie
/ January 19, 2012Welcome to a quiet day on my blog, Cris!
