Exploring the Lake

The water levels at the lake are still really low, so we've been taking advantage of it by walking the shoreline as much as possible.



During summer pool the water would be to the top of those piers....



This guy may have been sunning himself or he may have been dead....  I'm not sure but I wasn't going to poke him and find out.


Would you have poked him?

  1. I would probably have tossed a pebble at him from a distance!! Not hard, just enough to maybe stir him up a bit!! Have you gotten your lake house ready for the summer? I'm not sure we will ever have a summer here! Was at our daughter's up in Blacksburg VA this weekend and woke up to more snow!!! I'm so over it!!!!

  3. No never poke the snake. I would think the lake would be to capacity with all the snow you have.

    1. Hi Elaine: This lake is in Kentucky, not near Chicago where we've had all the snow. Every year they drain the lake down to a low level and then fill it back up each spring. xo

  4. We have a lake here in Oregon that is always lowered in winter months. Interesting to see what's under all that water. Yes, I would have let that snake be. No need inviting trouble!

  6. Wow that really is low. Is there a snow pack nearby to fill it up come spring and summer?
    I vote that all bloggers have to put a snake photo warning at the top of their posts so I don't throw my coffee across the rooms when scrolling down. Shudder.

    1. :-) A "no snake" warning?

      The lake is part of a river that flows thru several states and they fill it back up every year after the spring rains.
