A photo story

A pond near Lake George

I stood by a pond near Lake George, New York, one evening in August 2025. The water was packed with lily pads, green ones crowded together with a few already turning yellow and red. It was just before sunset, around 73, with a light breeze around 5 miles an hour.

I took this looking out over the water, with the pads covering almost every bit of the surface. The light was already going on the pond.
