The Lady Of The Lake

In the background there is a lake,
and beyond that, some low hills.

(The photograph was taken
the day after I drowned.

I am in the lake, in the center
of the picture, just under the surface.

It is difficult to say where
precisely, or to say
how large or small I am:
the effect of water
on light is a distortion

but if you look long enough,
eventually
you will be able to see me.)

- Margaret Atwood, This Is a Photograph of Me


A friend and I spent Saturday morning at the edge of a lake, sloshing around with a Lady, and a lot of tiny fish (and some hungry ducks).  Here are some of our photos...
(pics 1, 2, 3, 4, and 10 were taken by me.)
