At June Lake

Reflections resting on the water are buoyant, but, calm with weightlessness From above, the ancient moon seeks reassurance, releasing her cloud-garments of opalescence_ Now, radiance on mirror's surface invites a second look at June Lake __________________________ 6/2/14 For Andrea's Contest

Hi Carrie, beautiful piece here, you know, I have been to June Lake near Mammoth Mountain off US 395 many times camping and fishing, is this the same June Lake you write of? My good friend John Frederickson owns the June Lake Marina there! Beautiful Place!

Thanks for asking, Robert! Yes.....we used to camp there often. I was born and raised in California.....now living in the far northern part of the state. But know the area around Bishop, Lone Pine very well! I'm glad someone recognized the fact that this is a California Lake! :)
