A wonderful weekend in the Blue Ridge Mountains: Part 2 - Bass Lake at the Cone Manor

We went for two walks at the Bass Lake last weekend.  It had clouded over by Saturday evening:

They're redoing the heart ponds. This was a surprise.

Sunset over the lake.

We went back again the next morning...

...because this is a lovely view for breakfast.

Jewel weed was blooming profusely.

Goldenrod blooming at the end of the lake

You usually can't see this well into the island.

 Duck next to all the fleabane flowers blooming by the dam

 

 

Part of the project they're working on is to keep the water lilies from taking over the lake.

 

I've taken lots of photos of the Cone Manor, but I can't resist just one more.
