Spring Lake, California scenic view
That brief trip to Northern California last month is still yielding some neat images. Who doesn’t like reflections on a still lake in the sunshine? Spring Lake is in Santa Rosa, California, about an hour north of San Francisco. Seems like it was roughly the same hiking distance around as Green Lake in Seattle, about an hour or so. I love being outdoors near water!
Take a look at Outdoor Wednesday, Watery Wednesday, Scenic Sunday, Blue Monday and Weekend Reflections for more interesting images on a theme. And if you like scenic landscape photos, there are a number of new ones taken in Arizona on Free Photos that you might check out.

So peaceful and beautiful…I have yet to visit Santa Rosa (the most North I’ve come in this state is Sacramento:)

A serene scene, Sara!
WATER, WATER EVERYWHERE
Water here and water there,
Water, water everywhere!
Some as hard as steel or stone,
Some as soft as mousie bone;
Some as tiny drops of dew,
Clinging to the ancient yew.
Where there’s water, life is there—
Water, water everywhere!
