Where did Summer go?

Having completed the long summer of work travel, I decided to get my kayak out on Burke Lake to enjoy unusually pleasant weather for this time of year (L60s-H~80). It had been over a month since my last outing and I couldn't let the summer end without one more go. It seems like this summer was a blur and it took the isolation of the middle of a lake to reflect upon all the activities.

I'm thinking of naming the Blue Heron in the pictures I took while kayaking. We've developed quite a friendship, as I see it everytime I get on the lake.

I hope everyone is doing well and that you are eagerly anticipating what I term the ROCKINEST season of the year...Fall. Here come school, soccer, pants weather, and rainy day storms. Ahhhhhhhhhwsum.
