Swans on the Lake

The State of Virginia is a beautiful place.

My friend Lisa recently went for a visit to a lovely lakeside community in the State of Virginia.  One of our mutual friends, Barbara, has a home there. (Lucky Barbara!)  On the trip, Lisa took a whole bunch of terrific pictures and has graciously let me post them.


There are swans on Barbara's lake.

Cool, huh?

I love all the evergreen trees, too.  We don't have so much of that here on the southern left coast of the country.


There are also (apparently) plenty of geese.
Cannonball!

Incoming!

Geese coming in for a landing!

Waterfowl are cool
Looks like the geese were having a good time on the lake that day.


The clouds were pretty dramatic, but according to Lisa the weather was beautiful and it didn't rain much.


Here is one of the beautiful lakeside homes.

Must be nice to live by a lake!  I wonder if they get lots of mosquitos? This home has a small private dock.


Isn't this a beautiful swan?


He kept following the boat.

Maybe he thought the boat was his mommy?

Or maybe he just didn't have to paddle so hard in the draft of the boat...

Hope you enjoyed this little idyll in Virginia!

Thanks, Lisa!
