OUR LAKE

The little house we called our own in Sweden for two weeks this June had a lake right next to it. The owner had a swampy area dredged more and more in the course of several years, considering the vegetation he wanted, the shape, the boulders and large rocks - everything. It is a spectacular work of art that looks totally natural. I took photographs almost daily, and depending on the light, the weather and the time of day, it looked new and different each time. Here is a journey, literally through our two weeks. We dream of returning...

The first morning...



Waiting for frogs...



A pile of boulders



Clouds in the water



Another part of the shore



Looking towards one of the tiny islands



Hanging on... Look here if you would like to see more frogs



Up close



Ducks swimming away as fast as they can. They did this every time I took out my camera...



Zoomed as close as possible...



Sauna on one of the tiny islands



Birch reflected in the water



Frogs meeting



Lots of these tiny little pink flowers swimming in the water



Another day, another light



Look in the other direction



Tiny bird on a large boulder



This is not autumn color: the last rays of the sun bring gold to the tree tops!



The sun sets on the last evening...
