My Blue Weekend

I hope everyone had as great a weekend as I did! I was invited to my join my sister and her family at their lake house in New Hampshire. I love cruising around the lake and watching the kids being towed on the tube, barbecuing on board, and playing volleyball at the sandbar, even though I'm not allowed to go swimming because of microbes. I bring a book and my camera and that keeps me plenty busy if everyone else is off the boat for a while. I took a lot of sky and water shots this weekend, so with all that blue involved I thought I'd share some of my pictures for Blue Monday with Smiling Sally.
The clouds almost seem surreal floating over the White Mountains.Late in the day we got thunderstorms, and you can see a little of the gray clouds moving in.I love all the nooks and crannies around the lake shore where a boat can
drop anchor and we can swim and snorkel without big crowds.Check out this fun blue roof!
That's a little of my weekend, I'll show more over the week. I hope you'll take some time to visit Smiling Sally and the other Blue Monday participants.

    These are beautiful. As a New England girl love it in the summer. Actually, any time when it's not snowing. Not a winter fan.

    What a lovely setting. I could look at water and clouds for hours. Both are calming to me.

    Happy Blue Monday sweetie.
    Oh how smart you are to be the photographer on board .
    Let the kids take the tube !
    I'll take the camera :)
    What amazing clouds .
    Those photos should be framed or in a book .
    Each one was wonderful.
    Like the roof top that was great.
    Have a fabulous week.
    Happy Trails
    Hugs
