The island

A waterfront snack pavilion with a red and white deck sits by a willow tree at golden hour, seen from the water.

The same afternoon, further along the shore.

The same afternoon as the sailboats, further along the water where an old snack pavilion was opening back up for the season. The willow had not quite greened. I liked the place better half asleep like this, before the summer crowds arrive.

Two sails

Two white sailboats drift on open blue water before a low green treeline under a soft pale sky.

Two sails out on open water again.

First proper light on the lake this year, and two boats already had the same idea. I watched them lean into the wind from the shore, in no hurry to be anywhere. The season turning over, quietly.
