Chemong Lake X and XI - Two Works in Progress

Today was another hot 82F (28C) and humid, 93F (34C) and although they are calling for thunder storms tonight, I doubt that they are going to appear.

Ron wanted to take the pontoon boat out again and see if the motor was going to work any better, so we went back to Chemong Lake.

It took at least four tries until he finally managed to get it to go into gear and take us out into the lake. This time we went up the lake to the very end.

Once we made it to the end, we stopped to have lunch before turning around to head back to the boat launch.

On the way back Ron stopped to try his luck at fishing, while I worked on a sketch of a nice area with bent and twisted cedars, sunken logs and lots of strong contrast with sunlight and shadows.

From there we moved further down the lake as Ron continued fishing, letting the current carry us along which didn't give me much time to sketch.

I will post each of these drawings at a later date as more work on them is completed.
