In-between two bouts of heatwave, it was decided to have an overnight stay by the lake.
The sunrise sky was so beautiful in the early morning.
We went out walking at 5.45 am in the delicious freshness of that time of day.
The street lamps were still lit.
A swan was enjoying this marvellous moment of the day as much as I was.
The rising sun hit the landing stage and created beautiful reflections.
A bit later in the morning, after breakfast on the outside terrace, we walked in the lakeside park
under the welcome shade of the huge trees.
It was lovely to observe the beauty of the environment and flocks of birds
flying across the sky in their hundreds.
I was unable to identify the birds.
I was wondering if they could be Cormerants.
Here they are again
Flying very high above the mountain peaks.

The port of Morges and the beautiful Mont Blanc mountain.
The atmosphere on the lake changes constantly.
This lighting makes me think of a watercolour painting.
The lakeside Dahlias are stunning and there are so many varieties and colours.
This bright pink one caught my eye as well.
Sunset over the Mont Blanc.
Such peace.
I have been making fewer blog entries lately, mostly because of our heat
which seems to make everything a huge effort!
I have decided however, to increase my blog entries and just make them shorter.
I know that it's often discouraging to wade through too many photos
and especially too many words!
It was so beautiful by the lake and we prolonged our stay by one night!
Now we are experiencing yet another heatwave and going out in the early mornings
is the only comfortable time of the day.
