Hot and muggy summer days require a trip to one of my favorite state parks on Seneca Lake.
The park was surprisingly quiet on this particular evening, and the sunset was beautiful.
The seagulls even congregated to watch the sun drop after an extremely hot day.
Just like the lyrics in the Zac Brown Band country song – “toes in the water”
The sailboats begged for admiration.
The hot hazy day made the lake mysteriously alluring.
The sun finally decided to rest after a long day of working overtime.
What do you do to cool down after a hot summer day? Do you have a favorite state park you like to go to?
THE JOY OF CAKING 
What beautiful summer shots…the water looks so serene. I’m enjoying the waterfront of a Wisconsin lake…home on Saturday. It’s been a lovely respite.
Awesome Liz – enjoy!
Such a peaceful setting, thank you. Stay cool!
You too Sandra 🙂
Oh such lovely photos, Eileen! I have to branch out and start photographing more things than just food! Funny, but there is a park near me called Seneca State Park. I don’t go there much, not sure why. When I come home feeling hot and tired, I tend to stay in with a cocktail underneath a ceiling fan! Though I think a walk out in beautiful nature would be better for my brain! : )
I am guilty of sitting under the ceiling fan and having my cocktail too Anne. That’s probably why I blogged about this adventure. I don’t do it nearly enough!
I love all the idyllic summer scenes in your photos, Eileen! Reminds me that I need to step away from my plugged-in life even during the weekdays and just admire my surroundings. Thanks for sharing!
It’s so easy to stay plugged-in. I know I have good intentions of only being on my computer for a few minutes and it turns into far too long – every time.
Gorgeous photographs. Thank you for sharing…and thank you for your kind words on my blog! I’m glad to be back to visit my favorites 🙂
So glad you have a pretty little bundle of joy in your home now!
Very nice photos of the very nice park.
What a beautiful lake! Your pictures make me nostalgic for my cabin on the lake. I haven’t been up there in 2 years, but I have a chance to go in about a month. I’m so looking forward to swimming, bonfires, cold beer, and good friends.
Definitley go and kick back!
I can’t imagine a more perfect summer evening. How nice to live so close to natural beauty. I can’t say that I have a favorite state park to go to…but I do love to go to the Jersey shore. Since it’s supposed to be 97 degrees on Thursday, we’re gonna do what all Jersey people do — go “down the shore!”
I’ll take the Jersey shore. Went there in my Jr. year of high school and had a blast!
