I Almost Drowned in a Lake Like This. Then I Snorkeled It

Today was the day to face a deep fear. Returning to the water after a near-drowning experience years ago changed how I view these local waterways. Looking past the surface reveals a different world where fall foliage settles on the lakebed, creating a vibrant contrast against the dark, murky depths. Snorkeling here allows for a slow, methodical look at the debris and life that accumulates as the seasons shift. Watching a single pink maple leaf rest on the bottom provides a moment of stillness amidst the cloudy, overcast sky. This session captures the tranquility of the lake, offering a quiet escape for anyone interested in freshwater ecosystems and the changing seasons.
