Picnic At Pchelina Lake

We had been thinking of going back to Pchelina Lake this year for a picnic and yesterday was the day. The place definitely looks different at the end of the summer - no more luscious green meadows and bright colorful flowers; the meadows have been mowed, the flowers have withered under the harsh hot August sun. Still, it was beautiful and most of all - surreal quiet and peaceful. Having just watched Carrie Bradshaw fret and dither about spending a weekend in a lodge outside New York (I'm rewatching Sex and the City), I find it difficult to relate to and to believe that there are people who don't enjoy the outdoors :)
