I took this picture a few years ago at my parent's home. This is the view from their front deck. For some unknown reason the part of the house that faces the water is called the front and the part that faces the driveway is the back. I have no idea why!
It's before I had my Canon Rebel so I'm afraid the quality isn't as good, but it still shows what a beautiful place it is, especially during the fall. That's really a great time to get out in the kayak and explore. I grew up spending hours and hours on this water, back in the day when it was safe to send your kids out for the entire day and not expect them back until dinner and not worry if they were okay or not.
Beautiful leaves in that picture. Very peaceful looking.
