Lake Lanier Lights

Today was the first day of lake life for our family. We buy these passes to a waterpark on Lake Lanier (not too far from where we live--about 45 minutes). I sit on lounge chairs in the sand under an umbrella, and the girls run off to slide down water slides and then dip in the lake. It's heaven. The water stage has these colorful lights swinging in the wind. :)

Those coloured bulbs look great against the sky! Sound like a wonderful place to chill while your daughters have fun - enjoy! : ))

[Junko Y]

And those lights seem to be celebrating your family's arrival! Happy image.

Like the coloured bulbs. Enjoy life by the lake - sounds very nice

@jyokota hehe, my family is called "Happy Family" by a few folks--so it works! Oh, I really think you should have your students you are traveling with to Japan work on a photo for you in the challenge I have issued on 365! :) http://365project.org/discuss/themes-competitions/18032/new-challenge-get-ready-to-hadouken-or-jump#post-reply

@rennes @rachelwithey It's a fun place and easy to just sit back and enjoy. It's a bit of a hike to get there, but it's great once we are situated! :)

[Susan]

Really great and I love the bright colors!

[Danette Thompson]

How nice! Pretty capture. I love Lake Lanier. My son went to Riverside Military Academy. My best friend lives in Cleveland and another in Suwannee.

What a perfect way to spend time! And the colorful bulbs convey joy/happiness. I can see why your family would be called happy family -- I loved the images in the challenge shots. Everyone looked to be having a great time!

@danette I swear, I can't get where everyone is really, but somehow I had you in my mind in SC--S. Florida sounds much better (no offense to any friends from SC!). If you ever come up this way, we should meet at Lake Lanier! :)

[Lisa Stein]

Instant fav - I love this shot. Great leading lines, beautiful clouds in the background and it looks like the lights are floating in the wind. We used to go to LL Islands regularly and then we went to a Disney Water Park and it kind of ruined our local park. However, my youngest Ryan (11) would probably still enjoy it. The teenagers are too cool for it now. Enjoy your fun sounding summer!

[SquamLoon]

Cool! What a happy shot! Glad to hear you're splashing around.
