Lake Michigan

Shallow waters and a sand bottom reflect the sun in a shimmering array of shapes and lines in Lost Lake. There is a great pathway that goes around this lake, taking you through woods with water on either side while you walk along a soft pine-needle pathway. This photo was shot from a wooden path bridge that connects the mainland to an island. Lost Lake is in Ludington State Park.
