The Bird in Flight

it is the first of september now, can anyone believe it? sitting on the porch this morning, there is a chill in the air for the first time this year. the lake is glassy and every blade of grass has got a bright dop of dew. with the change of the weather i am thinking back on the summer. the smooth lake is reminding me of being at honey rock camp in northwoods wisconsin http://www.honeyrockcamp.org/ where the darkness of the water was rivaled only by the darkness of the sky. every star above had its corresponding star below as my friend and i canoed the lake for about 4 hours late one night. oh the days when you can stay up 'til 3 doing whatever you want to do! this is a photo taken at the canoe shack the day before. below is a camper i taught in sailing. we were preparing the boats for a storm that you can see overhead.
