A Walk at the Lake

I drove out to Pitt Lake late yesterday afternoon for a walk on the dike. What a strange sight, fifteen or so boats and boat trailers in the parking lot and only four passenger cars. This, mind you, on the Monday of a long weekend.

So, it was about five-thirty and raining lightly with clouds seemingly very low, but the snow capped mountains showing. Quite a claustrophobic effect.

I walked the dike for about an hour and just couldn't believe that there wouldn't be anyone else inspired to take a stroll in a mild rain.

I must admit that I used to head out to the lake with a friend for walks and it was a better trip taken with company. That being said, the luxury of an evening walk in the rain and the attendant opportunity for reflection was a pleasant bookend to the day.
