It's a bay of Lake Minnetonka, west of Minneapolis. The Velveteen Ocelot Jul 2019 #3

That's too bad. It looks like it would be so peaceful right there w/out that boat. smirkymonkey Jul 2019 #4

What a beautiful lake! Where is that! I love lakes. I grew up around a lot of lakes and I miss them. I am near the ocean now, but I actually prefer lakes to the ocean which most people find strange.

It's quite a large lake with a lot of bays and inlets but unfortunately it's been spoiled somewhat by drunks on jet skis and motorboats.

I'm not a fan of jet skis and motorboats. I used to think they were fun when I was younger, but they just disturb the natural peace and tranquilty. I also think they are dangerous. I guess I am getting kind of old.
