Lake Mead lies in the states of Nevada and Arizona.
It is a startling contrast of desert and water, mountains and canyons and primitive backcountry.
People flock here for boating, fishing, swimming and water-skiing year round.
Please click on photos to enlarge!
. All was peaceful, until...
these people started tossing bread!

That red-headed bird was a new one to me, but then it probably is native to America.
Throwing bread to the birds is asking for trouble :-)
PS I have both a bench and a reflection this week ;-)
Great reflections and warm color!:-)
These are great. It's fun to watch thunder storms in the mountains around there. I like all of these but I'm really drawn to the cool looking redheaded bird.
Lucky you to find Redhead duck and a paddle boat in the same spot. The paddle boat must be a nice way to enjoy Lake Mead.
Your photos are splendid, Carolyn.
Beautiful shots.
Congrats.

Great reflections
lovely photos! I like the splash of red in the first one and the duck photo is wonderful!
As I love gulls, I'd choose the pictures with them; But it's true that the little red duck is lovely!
I was going to say which one I like best, but I like all of them. What kind of duck (it is a duck isn't it?) is the one with the red head?
Gorgeous reflection photos.
Despite the redhead swimming in the clear water captured all my attention, all the photos are wonderful.
Lovely and varied reflections!
I'm leaning toward the first being my favorite with the colorful reflections; but I love the birds along the shoreline as well.
You must have had a really wonderful trip!
Stupidly enough I don't associate Nevada with water ;- Love these, especially the first one.
Great series of photos with lovely reflections.
And that's when the fun began. Great shots, reflections or not.

Very nice Carolyn. That duck is really pretty (red head!)
These are stunning and fantastic pictures! I love that red head duck!
Gorgeous views of Lake Mead. We also like to get out of town explore during the day when we visit Vegas.
I could feel the serenity unless bird feeding time.
I love the reflections on the first shot!
Lovely collection Carolyn. They had to throw bread eh?
I meant until bird feeding time.
Great shots Carolyn ! I know Lake Mead well...my brother in law was a ranger there for a while and I did some backcountry restoration there, Desert Tortoises are my favorite!
Beautiful reflections, specially the paddle wheel inthe first one!
nice place!
This lake is magnificent, I would like so much to visit NEvada some day!
Wonderful post!
Have a great weekend,

We have to treasure Lake Mead as long as we can...
Nice reflections.
Wonderful shots of a beautiful place. Love the 3rd shot, the water is so clear. And that's a great looking bird - very cooperative subject! Kathy
Nice shots ... great reflections!
Beautiful views ... lovely reflections! Nifty red water wheel.
Hugs and blessings,
Very nice reflections, I particularly like the paddle wheel boat in the first shot.
I love photographing birds, too. This lake reminded me of visiting Lake Powell, Arizona.
