Up in the Sierra Mountains, near Soda Springs off Hiway 80, is Serene Lake.

I love it up there, and have done some snow shoeing in the winter as well as swimming in the summer.

In the summertime, you can swim out to the middle of the lake and relax on a platform teathered to the bottom.

Sometime in the middle of August, it's a place well known for meteor gazing.

I like to visit the lake in the evening.

Maybe it's the change in temperature at this particular time of the year, when a slight chill in the evening takes away the heat of the day; and a mist forms on the lake, just a few inches deep:

I like to lay flat on the dock and watch the stars running through the sky.

And soon I am floating - I am the dock, I can feel the surface tension of the water and the fog whispering at my toes.
