Lake Heaven, Part 3

No Matter the Weather, No Matter the Season, Part 2

​ Both photos are from our front window. I took them our first winter at the lake. It’s the most snow we’ve had in Tennessee, so far. If you look in the trees in the first picture, I think it’s the right one, there are some shadowy shapes. I blew them up and found five deer.
​
I saw them hesitating, in real time by the road, like they were making a decision. Dinner was in our yard, till they saw the car. They changed their mind and went straight up the hill across the road. I can’t do that anytime. They 

did it in slippery snow. Deer are amazing!
​
We’ve met other animals over the years. Squirrels, snakes, frogs, turtles, crows, hawks, even an eagle. I call the lake my wild kingdom. For a city girl like me, it’s an amazing place!

I’ll close this on the porch. It’s a great place to sit and watch the rain without getting wet. Here’s the link for SMOKY MOUNTAIN RAIN. It’s exactly what I was thinking about when I took this photo.

​
love the lake like no other place. The view inspired 2 story ideas. I’m self-publishing one about my family’s lake adventures. I want to publish the one about our ‘darn ducks’ traditionally. Whether I’m writing or taking a break, there’s no place like the lake. It’s heaven!
