Our Sunday Stills prompt this week is Vacation or Staycation? We had plans to spend a few days at Lake Michigan this summer but had to cancel due to the cursed Omicron. I’m with Terri on this one, who needs a vacation when you have this kind of view. Here a few shots of the view from our home, yes we live on the lake (aka big pond).
Spring night, the Bradford Pear in bloom, path lights shining on the water.
Cloud Dancer as sunset highlights the clouds. Does anyone else see the Cloud Dancer?
One of many gorgeous sunsets.
The moon peeks through the trees at her reflection in the still waters of the lake.
Thanks for joining me today for a look at my home. Til next time ~Peace ~JP
