Sunday Morning

Sunday morning, while having our first

cup of coffee, we made a quick decision

to head out to the lake.

I  packed some breakfast

burritos made with leftover egg,

 herb, and potato fritatta

We poured the rest of the coffee

from the pot into a thermos 

and we were heading to the lake 

just an hour  later.

  

The early morning sun

  highlighting the colors of the

lake and the exposed lake bed.

I wonder if the goose spent the 

night up on the roof.

Our timing was right to catch 

a photo of the train heading north

 on the Pit River bridge.

The Pit River bridge is what the

old timers call it. 

 It has been renamed the 

Vietnam Veterans Memorial Bridge, 

which is honorable, but it's hard to

think of this bridge as anything other than 

the Pit River bridge.  

The geese were noisily honking their way

across the lake in front of us.

The lake was busy with house boaters,

and fishermen.  In just a few weeks,

the louder crowd of skiers, and summer 

boaters will occupy the lake with their

parties, and racing boats pulling skiers

round and round.  Personal watercraft

will buzz around like angry bees.

Summer isn't our favorite time on the

lake, but we'll make do with very early 

morning trips out.

The lake was 75 feet below the crest on Sunday.

It's closer to noon in these photos.

The light has changed and the lake 

has taken on a green hue.

It was a very nice way to spend some

time Sunday morning. It actually felt

like a vacation day.

Continuing on with that feeling

we decided to have lunch at the marina

restaurant.  

This last photo was taken with my 

phone from the outdoor deck

where we shared a sandwich.

Man, it was really nice out there...,

but then we came home

and it was back to our 

never ending "to do" chore list.
