Lake Life

A lake carries you into recesses of feeling otherwise impenetrable. ...William Wordsworth

The average depth of Fallen Leaf Lake is 240 feet which falls away rapidly as one moves away from the shoreline, thus the interesting color change.

@photobird @fbailey @wendyfrost @hermann @ludwigsdiana @maggiemae @ddw @jessikapanteleios @kchuk @seattlite @carole_sandford Thanks to you, one and all. That is what I loved about this photo...all the ombre color (shaded gradual blending of color). The water is very clean, fresh and clear and looks oh so inviting! Next time! :)
