Boating blues......Round Valley Lake greens..........

Still having lower back problems so have only kayaked once so far and the jet ski rides are on hold as they are bumpy! I'm really upset about this of course. Have been out on the motorboat some, love riding around this gorgeous lake which covers approx. 55 sq. miles.  The blues of the mountains in Lassen Volcanic Park surrounding the lake are lovely, and the water - deep and blue - beckons from daybreak until sunset.

A short drive to Round Valley brought its own rewards when it came to color.  Still the blue water but what amazed me was the brilliant lime green of these leaves.  Floating water plants, anchored to the lake bottom no doubt, but dancing in the sunlight on the rippling water..............

...........from the distance these beds of leaves appeared as land.

Apologies for not commenting on your blogs while I'm here in California.........time online is somewhat limited.  As you can imagine, life revolves around the outdoors and fresh air anyway.
I'll catch up with you when I get back!
