Lake McDonald in late May (8/10)

In case you wondered, this is what Lake McDonald looks like from the shoreline. I shared a picture months ago of this scene with the lake frozen over and the shoreline was nearly where the channel buoy to the left of center is. The snowmelt has filled in the lake, so the buoy marks the transition from deeper water to shallower water. The boat in the lower right corner is a flat-bottomed aluminum boat that can navigate the shallow water.
