Horizontal pic showing how vast and how calm the water is today. Tall tufts of grasses and reeds dot the very foreground, with a pine needle strewn path down the center to the water and framing trees, both birches, in shadow to the sides. The beach is slowly extending with the season, sandy rocks forest bracken and other bits and bobs all exposed like a forgotten archaeology project. Lobelie flowers start in the shallows and extend outward, bright and fluffy in the light. Above, a vast blue sky with a perfect gallop of small puff cloud top the left of center, above the curvaceous tree line of the opposite shore. And all across the center of the frame, the wide still smooth body of the lake, inviting you in to splash and explore

Vertical pic of the forest just to the right of where I'm sitting as I type. A narrow path, all forest bracken and roots, curves clockwise from bottom left to center frame. Tall grasses line its edges. Gnarled birch trees twist up around, filling the frame. Everything is bathed in leaf dappled light. It looks inviting and warm, even in the shade, which ofc it is
