    More Photos---The "end" of Summer 2008

    Well---as the guys in Monty Python used to say--"Now-time for something completely different!"

    I have been putting up some of my liberal rants on Vi's threads--so it's time for me to post up something different--some more photos taken in recent days.

    Around the lake I spend much of my time, at least in the warm weather seasons, a tradition started about 20 or so years ago to mark the end of the summer season here on this lake. Like a lot of places in northern climes---the summer season basically runs from Memorial Day to Labor Day and unbelieveably---we have said goodbye to Summer 2008 in the formal sense is over.

    The kids are back in school, Friday nights are once again football nights and all of that---and so summer, while still going in terms of the meterological and astronomical aspects of the season----as far as people are concerned--summer is over.

    The tradition is that about 9 p.m. of the Sunday of the three day Labor Day weekend, people light off a number of 30 minute road flares along the shoreline of the lake.

    So---around a great deal of the approximately 30 miles of shoreline on this lake----there is a red glow of the flares that mark the "end of summer."

    Here are some of the photos I took here on our part of the lake:
