Mud puddles, foggy morning and glistening spider webs filled with dew

It was a mud puddle Saturday morning that was the early morning walk to the lodge.  The air was cool enough for a second layer and then as the day progressed we were right back into summer sun with steamy temperatures.  This time of August is all about surprises; you never know quite what to expect.  There could be a fire burning in the lodge fireplace, or the windows all thrown open to bring in whatever breeze we can find.  All the experiences in the span of less than a half day or even an hour.

Sunday morning brought thick fog.. humidity so high that if you stood quietly by the side of the woods you would think it was raining: you could hear the dew leave the tree branches and drop to the forest floor.  The lake was enveloped in fog as the sun gently and yet firmly rose in the sky.  Early morning guests were heading to the marina for a ride on the hydrobikes........it would make a perfect photo...bicycling off into the fog.  As I neared  the lodge my eyes were stopped by the sight of  a jewel-like, delicate bag drooping from the branches of the norway pine another photo possibility.   Into the lodge .... for the camera ... but a guest needing a question answered delayed my return outdoors.  I did get the photo of the spider web; but missed the guests on the bikes ....the busyness of morning began.
