    The lakes look very awesome, Terri! The Lake Spokane ones are really my favorites, and they made me smile. Sounds like you had fun kayaking, too! ☺️

    Thank you so much for sharing them! Have a very wonderful day. ☺️

      Thank you, Aptivi! We are fortunate to live near Lake Spokane. Kayaking or stand up paddling are wonderful!

    I like the idea of spanning the seasons Terri. I have done that with Council Point Park where I do most of my weekday walking. I stood at the same spot at the beginning of the path for all four seasons to make a collage. I did not have any action-packed photos however, just the four still shots. My favorite season is Fall and I like your Fall images – the reflections at Lake Spokane for the various seasons are just exquisite!

      Thank you, Linda. I did some season shots in my early days of blogging. It’s fun to see the changes of the seasons like that. Your collage idea sounds good…I’ll have plan for that. ❄️🌱🌻🍁

    Wonderful seasonal tour, Terri. I wish it were possible to transport myself through my laptop screen to the lakes.

    A great compilation of shots, Terri. I love the greens of spring, but my favourite is autumn. Those colourful reflections are amazing.

      Thanks, Sarah! I like to share something for Wordless Wednesday and use some long forgotten images languishing in the media file. The header was new from last year.
