As promised I'm posting some photos from the flatrocks on Lake Champlain. Everyday around 4:45 when we're visiting Lindenmere we all pack a couple of picnic baskets full of delicious Vermont cheddar, whole grain crackers, olives, various spicy Italian salamis, fruit and of course - lots of wine!
After we're all packed up we take as short walk down a narrow path through the beautiful cedar trees down to the flatrocks, which are these huge flat rocks that hug the perimeter of Lake Champlain on the west side of South Hero Island. And when we arrive here's what we see:
This flatrock area is the perfect place to set up several Adirondack chairs and sit back to watch the sunset with friends and loved ones.
It's such a gorgeous day here in north western New Jersey. We're looking forward to a wonderful weekend with friends on the back porch!
Ciao, bella!
Makes me yearn for the ocean, seeing these pictures. I can picture it now, picnic basket in hand. The sound of sea gulls floating in the clouds and the enchanting scent of salty sea air as the wind whips my hair. sigh.... I miss visiting the ocean.
ReplyDeleteIt's gorgeous Ann-Marie!! There are so many beautiful places (and so close) I'd like to visit in the US. I'll definitely put this one on my list.
