Weekend at Naomi Lake in the Poconos with @kelsnm

Was a wonderful escape from the homestead for two nights.. but had to get back quick on Sunday to make sure my green guys weren't all dead and dried in the blistering summer Sun. We kayaked a bunch, flew the birdcam, swam in the lake, and went on a casual walk.. besides just enjoying the nature scene and a change of pace.

My love, @kelsnm, posing for a quick picture at one of the islands we kayaked to

This one we called, "blueberry island" because of all the natural blueberries there were growing! None were ripe yet but there were tons of green berries, and I mean tons of them on this tiny little island perhaps the size of .25 acres.

The lodge we stayed in

Duck farmers own this property, and thus this lodge is decorated to the tee with loads of "duck" memorabilia... from paintings to glassware and silverware and every decorative item in between.. duck.

Blue waters backdrop dark brown tree trunks and green ferns.

Endless forest wraps the lake

First glimpse at the lake in 6 months.

@kelsnm has never been to Lake Naomi before this weekend

We got right out onto the water

Place was loaded with sea faring people

Just lounging

Full moon for us to enjoy getting eaten alive by mosquito

Mother lounging out in the shallows

Water stayed relatively shallow until ya get much further out into the water.

Selfie time

Boy am I ugly

* An absolute babe*

At Lake Naomi dam

It must have been 100 degrees in the Sun

Water was very glassy that day

The humidity did not allow us to stay for long!

Till next time, Lake Naomi!

I always feel very fortunate to be able to experience the things in life that I do. I pray every day to Heavenly Father for the health and safety of all.

Happy Independence day, America!
