From the lake…but in this case, from the river.
Fall fish heads come from all around, hoping it will deliver.
Seeking salmon in Oswego county.
Two anglers stop by to check out the bounty…
But at an Amish vegetable stand?
What could be their angler wish…
Maybe just to be the man
Come home with dinner?
No fish…
But still a winner.

A closer, cleaner shot always eludes me, as my blue neighbor consistently keeps a safe distance in pursuit of solitude.
The largest heron in North America, he is a welcome wader in my view.
Sneaking up, I am spotted and in his flight a few more trys…to capture greatness
Oh Great Blue…in my view
Someday… will capture you
Till then I’ll settle
With how I can meddle
Watching you luvin life on the lake too…
Sometimes all that is required is to step out the door and fall…
Into the peaceful purple of the night… luvin life on the lake…usny.
Air cooler than water, sunrise smokin in my view…
Geese in a pink and golden hue…
Quiet and still in the purple dew…
Luvin life on the lake, just a Sunday morning in front of you.
This weekend find us sliding on a sliver moon into June…
a peek above at the north star,
playin on the edge,
is not so far…
Any old stick or log, will do…
So on my blog just for you…
A sliver of livin on the edge…
Luvin life on the lake with a view.
This was the weekend that brings the invasion.
It is the memory that makes the occasion.
Welcome the googans that come into view.
Just until labor day they’ll do what they do.
Thank you to all that have fought and have died, paving the way to turn this tide.
Keeping safe to make the transition, so all of us can just keep on fishin.
Freedom to partake, right on que.
Luvin life on the lake equally…usny…right along with you.
One thing their is no lack of in my view is the sunset along the waterfront.
365 days is a plethora of opportunity and as you can imagine thousands of shots as each one makes its decent from the sky, through clouds, or not…into the dunes and the water.
Romantics love sunsets, fisherman are keen on that time of day, they are the back drop of many life adventures, pictures and places.
With as many that fall right in front of my face, I struggle not to be a sunset snob. Probably one of the most photographed phenomenons of nature, little is required of the photographer, as the light cast sparks the creative eye, not only on the event, but the subject matter on which it falls.
Hope you enjoy some of the sunset in my view…

Spring is full of firsts…from the no color of winter to the first color of spring as it makes itself available, one step at a time.
First Saturday in May opens the possibility, for the first taste (since last spring ), of the tastiest fresh water fish in my view. The flaky flesh of the walleye pike, broiled or fried rivals ocean haddock in its white appearance, texture and taste, as it crosses your palette.
A bump on the head, and a swipe of the knife, it doesn’t get any fresher from eating to ate.
Caught up in our first taste of walleye for the season…

Spring @Salmon River Falls…usny
The water has to come from somewhere. East of the lake, the Salmon River flows 44 miles, before it hits the falls, a 100 ft drop…winding the rest of the way to the lake …it provides a spawning haven for the fish which gives it it’s name. Spring brings turbulent waters as the melt from the tug hill makes its way to the lake…
Hope you enjoy the view…

Whether or not these fat bellied red breasts are a sign of springs seems to be a matter of debate.
But there is no debate they are the first to land at the dock this spring.
As we are half in and half out of the transformation, their bath tub, still not sure if it wants to be frozen or float.
The ice coverage on the great lakes has been the most extensive since 1979.
The damage is obvious. Ice dams blocked outlets in January on Ontario…
west winds brought high water and forcing ice. You would not have realized, with 3 times the volume of water as sister lake Erie, freezing almost completely over this winter, we would be left the twisted fate for 2014, from a 59% freeze over.
Once the transition starts, it is usually quick, but…
The nooks and crannies are the last to go.
In the right spot some can handle the liquid temp not far from the solid one, as the thrill of the first swim and retrieve wins out.
As the water becomes suitable for all to float…
we see the robin, as a sign of spring, sure as we witness the melt…
There is no debate we are…
