Anyone who has been following my blog is becoming extremely familiar with Seneca Lake. My parents own lakefront and live across the street, on top of which theirs is the last house before State Park land begins, creating the feeling that they own miles of beach instead of just a certain amount of feet. And since I spend a lot of time at their house, it's inevitable for it to feature largely in my blogs and for my camera to be packed full of pictures of the big blue expanse.
Once upon a time I took this beautiful place for granted, but once I had spent a significant time away I could hardly imagine how I ever did that and vowed never to again. A vow that hasn't been hard to keep, possibly one of the few signs I've shown of wisdom with age :)
Being nearly forty miles long, between two and three and a half miles wide, with a depth of nearly seven hundred feet, it is a giant of a lake. In fact next to the Great Lakes it's one of the largest in the whole of the US.
Today, as the title promised, I will be taking you on a photo journey with myself and my mom as we pedal our way down to the shore. Down at the bottom I've added in a few pictures of my kids taking the boat out for a spin...and a short video of them with a friend, using it as a floating dock.

I'm a beginner with the recording feature on this camera, and what I learned from this video clip is that the more I zoom, the shakier it becomes. I do manage to smooth it out some about halfway through-
