Locomotion on Lake Manitou

 

Here's a photo album of activity on the lake yesterday.  Whether kicking back on a pontoon, rocketing around on a jet ski, or tubing behind a ski boat, everyone seemed to be having a good time.

First Fish of the Season

We've been slow to get to the "kicking back" phase this year.  Seems like we've been running in circles getting the island back after a particularly harsh winter.  This seems to have been the first day when Treasure Island could actually be considered a vacation place.  Cookie's leisure time was well rewarded, as you can see above.

The Daisies are Back

 

 

Once again, the daisies  grace Treasure Island.  Brought here by the geese.  They also brought the violets, which are becoming a nuisance.  Win some, loose some.

That Gawky Stage

I can't say that young geese are much to look at.  We have three families on the island at regular intervals.  One with two goslings, another with six and another with eleven.  We also had a pair of ducks with nine or ten ducklings--but they were one time visitors.
