DETAILS: KaelinArt.com/shape-of-the-sky Hawk Island scene! Something about this day, July 8th… Something soothing, something sun-kissed, something secret. I can only think of a few other days I’ve spent as much time with the water as this one, swimming, paddling, playing fetch with the pup in the waves, searching for water lilies. The lake gave life to something new inside me. Celebrated our 250th Independence Day under the Aurora Borealis at 42.45° North! #NorthernLights #Aurora A hike in a familiar old favorite. Lovely!
