A little paradise by maggiemae

A little paradise

Once more in our RV and this time to a little lake we haven't been before but only and hour or so from home. We had the place to ourselves except for a family who came to kayak in the afternoon. Bit of drama there - they had three dogs running about and coming back from a walk, I saw one of them eating something beside a tree. As the area had had a pindone poison drop for vermin, there was a serious risk of a dead carcass being poisonous. I told them to watch the dog and if it looked a bit sick, give it 1/2 cup of salt dissolved in water. Never heard but the car came back to collect the carcass so something might have happened.
Three good things:
1. We don't have dogs now.
2. Some great photographs.
3. Reading books beside a tranquil lake
Looks like a pretty good spot... hope the dog is ok...

the poison notices were very evident - I would have tied my dogs up all the time!

I love the composition of this image. Looks a lovely place to be. Luckily you were able to warm them about the dog so they were aware of the risk.

@dide I did wish that the gate was a wooden one but, oh well - you gotta take what you can!

Beautiful picture. The poison thing worries me. I had so many rats last year, trapped over 50, so I finally used poison, but I hate the stuff for the sake of birds and cats

Such a lovely image -love your edit A really nice spot except for the rat poison ! Amazed that the dog owners didn't take heed to the notice Alfie would have been on a short lead -- in fact in fact I do not think I would have not gone on to the area at all ! FAV for a lovely scene !

A beautiful capture! Love your 3 things!

Very pretty- a wonderful place for reading and photography! Too bad about the dog- but even if it was perfectly safe, one should still not let your dog run all over the place like that. You don't know how people will react to the animal or the animal to them. Better be safe than sorry. Good shot!

@olivetreeann Totally agree, Ann - even though we were the only other people there, it should apply! One dog racing around is bad enough but three!

beautiful restful scene

Lovely composition.

Hope the dog is okay. They put bait out close to the beach here occasionally to get rid of the rabbits and even though the signs are quite clear people still let the dogs off leash. I do warn them when I see owners with dogs running loose but they still take no notice.

Love the glow of that green , it's almost fleurescent! Love the way you edit your pictures! Good advice for dog owners, some people are exceptionally careless.
