An Island in Time

How wonderful are islands! Islands in space, like this one I have come to, ringed about by miles of water, linked by no bridges, no cables, no telephones. An island from the world and the world's life. Islands in time, like this short vacation of mine. The past and future are cut off, only the present remains. Every day, every act, is an island, washed by time and space.
- Anne Morrow Lindbergh

 Sharing some pictures from my vacation, of a tiny island in the middle of a lake...

 just room enough for a house...

 two chairs...

 and a teepee

 Finding this island while kayaking with my sister brought back memories of the Famous Five books we used to read together when we were little - their mystery islands, secret tunnels, ancient maps, ship wrecks, and exciting escapes - oh how we had dreamed we'd have such thrilling adventures too!

Also, check out my previous post for pictures of the rest of my lake-vacation
