We walked out our favorite trail between rain storms tonight. It was stunning to see the lake, glimmering in the sun and dotted with boats.
I took pictures from many different angles, trying to capture the beauty and magic of the scenery. Even now that we have had several weeks of fair weather after our cold winter, I have to pinch myself to make sure I’m not dreaming!
The sky was ever changing. At some points I wasn’t certain we would make it back down the path before the next rain shower, but I was too captivated by the sky and water and boats to leave!
I do love dramatic skies, and all the crazy weather we have here in Minnesota certainly lends itself to that!
We also had some lovely views along the trail — including a rainbow!

Hello @jayna... nice to meet you! Thank you for sharing such beautiful pictures! I bet there's a good spot for fishing at the lake. Does the lake freeze during winter?
Hi @rebolegi. Nice to meet you too! Yes, the lake freezes completely. If you scroll back a bit in my blog you can see posts from the winter when I was walking on the lake. You can also see pictures of ice fishing houses. People fish the lake year round.
Here's a fairly recent post when the ice was melting off: https://peakd.com/hive-193552/@jayna/actifit-jayna-20220322t050005444z
Thank you for stopping by!
Brrr....😰 reminds me of the cold Canadian winter. I used to study in a small town called Brandon in Manitoba back in the 80's, so I know how cold it could get during winter. Beautiful lake!
That must have been beautiful. Canada is so gorgeous. I don't actually mind winter here. I love its harsh beauty.
I love winter too! I live in a country where the climate is always 28ºC - 35ºC all year around with 80%++ humidity... can't stand the heat and stickiness. Stay in AC room most of the time. Canada is beautiful, especially during autumn, so colourful. I visit Canada every 2-3 years, my 3 kids are all there, live and work in Toronto.
Wow, these are amazing shots of the beautiful of nature over there at Minnesota and they are really nice. I'm glad it did not rain.
Thank you, @hopestylist! I forgot to mention that it did rain on us on the way back, but at least it wasn't a downpour. 😁
Oops, thank goodness it wasn't a downpour 😂.
Nice view ,but the weather looks cloudy, good for walking a round the place. Thank you.greetings.
Thanks @hsidik! I do love walking near the water. My blog will be full of boats and sunsets this summer.
Thank you are welcome, greetings.
The boats are so beautiful in the water, dramatic skies are fun to see, and sometime we say it conveys love to our planet.
I saw some beautiful people walking down the street, with beautiful plant grown beside the path, I guess you must be one of them.
Beautifully walk.
Thanks for your visit, @repayme4568. Yes there is a lot of beauty here, year round, but especially in the sunny and warm season!
You know I love walks by the water, so I loved this post, such a beautiful Lake all the boats out there again and you captured a rainbow awesome, I only ever seem to see them when I am driving and in a spot where I cant pull over to get photos of it
Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)
Oh I will take pictures of amazing clouds and rainbows while driving, @tattoodjay! Fortunately my husband was driving yesterday because on the way back the rainbow was right over the road so I took more pictures through the car window. Thank you for your support and for hosting Wednesday Walk!
WOW those are amazing shots, alas my wife doesnt drive so no chance of taking photos when we are driving
Good! That's a smart choice. I have been known to take pictures out the window while driving, and I'm not proud of it! (But there are times when I feel it is necessary!)
Seeing the lake provokes me to be there, for me it is something different, also the forests that you show, are full of greenery and beauty, for a moment I travel virtually, thank you for it.
