Quiet Shelter

My dog and I were hiking on the Hidden Lakes Trail east of Eagle River and I headed for the boat landing at Butternut lake. As we were walking the wind came up and it seemed to be getting darker so I gave up on trying to paint at the landing. On a whim I went through a break in the trees and found Four Ducks Lake with a trail that dipped down out of the wind. There was no wind, the sun came out and revealed this little gem with a beautiful stand of Spruces at the far end of a point. I couldn’t believe my luck, definitely a gift from the Gods.
