Echo Lake in the morning

Echo Lake…due east of home, along a dirt and gravel road over the foothills. On a weekday morning, there is minimal activity on the water – a few fisherman, a few waterskiers.

We access this piece of lakeshore from a public fishing access site. There is a nice trail around an inlet that provides plenty in the way of things to explore for Karl and beautiful vistas for me. We have a long amble as it is cool now, but getting warm on its way to hot.

Echo Lake in the morning.

Busy Morning

It’s happening…Summer! Despite a cool weekend with some good soaking rain showers, just a couple of warm, dry days and things are looking like they need a drink.

In preparation for a day forecast to hit 86F, I got some water going.

I’d like to keep some green and it works best to stay a bit ahead of the drying out.

Karl and I jointly supervised the watering…

Breakfast and then a jaunt over the back of foothills, (avoiding the chip sealing operations going on to our west) for a walk by Echo Lake before the sun gets too high….busy morning.
