Figured peach blossoms would be appropriate since I'm in Georgia!

Lake Champlain, the home of Nessie's cousin Champ. View from Peru, New York looking toward Vermont on the far side of the lake.

I really like this picture @jackb . I'm not an artist, but I find such interesting elements of composition in it. The stump points to the tree, the tree to the jetty, the jetty to Vermont. The clouds above Vermont echo the trees shape... Strong picture.

If Champ came to the surface I would be famous and the photo would be perfect.

Well we like you even if you're not famous and Champ is uncooperative.

Here is a less exciting view of the lake. The sand has a lot of garnet mixed in giving it a dark appearance. Garnet, a gemstone, is mined in huge quantities in the Adirondacks. They use it for abrasives among other things. It is also used in road constructrion, so that the roads sparkle at times in the sunlight. They frequently discover old ship wrecks from colonial times in the lake.

My birthstone laying untended along the roads? Sigh.
