Eagles on Lake Umbagog

My first trip to Lake Umbagog was unforgetable. I'm hooked!

Blue vervain...

I love the close up of the adult eagle on the branch.

Were you in a canoe/kayak, or walking the shoreline.

This is one of the spots that is high on my list of places to really explore, but I'm have yet to do significant preliminary research...

Patrick! Those are absolutely beautiful! My brother camps there every summer, just got back last week, he calls it Lake Ohmygod!

Your pictures are incredible!! Gorgeous stuff.

Thanks for all the nice comments!

Jim, I explored by canoe. The small fraction of shoreline I saw would be extremely difficult to walk.
