When on the deck at the cottage, lakeside, with a bathing suit on, informality is key to the cuisine. When the BBQ is not fired up, then finger foods, and beverages take center stage on the table under the parasol.

Such a friendly inviting image Joanne. A afternoon of enjoyment at the lake is what is need with our heat wave…..Jules
magnificent capture
Lovely selective focus and appealing scene, Joanne. Love the reflections and shadows!
How very civilised. Wish I was there too! We are having a long, wet summer!! Love the stripes in the drink.
This is a very inviting piece! Hope you’re enjoying your summer!
So far it has been hot and sunny! And how is your winter been? Thanks for the visit Mel!

Our winter alternates between hot and sunny and cool and overcast….mostly fresh and sunny though, which is why I love winter so much!
Or should I say why I love winter HERE in Brisbane :)
Yeah no kidding, I would love winter too if I was in Brisbane and not very chilly Canada! :-D
