Flip Flops & Dragonflies

The Fishtale Lodge recently turned their swimming pool into a garden area with a waterfall.



Love the dragonfly and flip flops ... and the bike ... and the water fall.



Wish you could hear this waterfall.  It took me a few trips over there to realize the fresh, tropical feeling I was getting everytime I came to visit ~ was coming from the sound of this waterfall.

Bill Carpenter gives Freida all the credit for their gorgeous flowers.



Love this yard ornament.

Bank Fishing

Look like fun?


It is!

This is such a typical scene around here.  Fishing from the bank doesn't require any fancy equipment.  And there are miles and miles of beach to fish from.

What Does Fun Look Like?













I'm sure these kids will never forget this summer or the fun they had playing in the waters of Kentucky Lake at Paris Landing.  Thank you Richard Graves for the great photos!

A Day In My Neighborhood

A day in my neighborhood might include ...



Fishing at dawn.





A drive through the countryside.



Or,
a deadly encounter.




Now, what would a blog about living at a lake be - without the occasional snake?

Thanks to John Peddy  at Sweetvalley Cabin Rental for the photos.

In Honor of The Olympics

One of our Paris Landing neighbors, Richard Graves, who just happens to be an award winning photographer, recently caught local fishermen, Geraldo showing off his gymnastic abilities in honor of the Olympics.

In the following photos, Geraldo goes to great lengths just to catch a minnow.






He spotted the fish he wants to catch.




And in he goes!



Bringin’ it home!



A little swinging trapeze action!



Almost there!


Got it!

Geraldo is a Green Heron and Richard Graves is an award winning photographer who is noted for getting great action shots like these of our wildlife.

We hope you will visit Richard's website at

Lake Signs


I'm starting a new label or category for Lake Signs.    They seem to be everywhere out here at Paris Landing.

Love this one I saw at T.F. Rice & Co.

A Morning at the Lake

Things I Like At The Lake

Not only are the birds well fed ... they have a spectacular view!


Summertime flowers are having at.

Found a pretty place to sit and watch the world go by over at Anne's place.


My sister Anne always lets the  Queen Anne's Lace grown wild in her yard.


And just look at this face!


Awwwww!
