Lake Hayes What makes lake Hayes special to me I have had so many memories and good times messing round down at lake hayes. I have been going there for as long as I can remember. About 5 years ago we moved with in walking distance of lake hayes. For the last few summers. I have spent hours jumping off the jetty and playing on the rope swing with friends. I love it because I know it so well and it always makes you feel good every time you go there. Descriptive writing Everything is still, quiet like the world has not waken or you are the only one in it. As I sit on the cold hard grass, wet with due. I gaze out at the calm peaceful lake. The willows yellowy fading leaves dangle over the lake being reflected by the water. Everything looks picture perfect ready to be hung on a wall.

The sun starts to climb creeping up above the hills piercing my eyes. I can hear the birds cries as they swoop out along the lake skimming the water with their feet. Breaking the perfect glaze. Distorting the willows reflection, like a mirror being shattered. The wild blackberry bushes are almost coming to an end. I can feel winters on its way, the air has a cold hard feel to it sending chills up my spine. Unlike the warming summer sun.

The sun is trying heat up, and more and more birds are singing like an orchestra coming to life. A few keen rowers start to head out, on the icy cold water. I know that I must move on, as the days are getting to short to waste.
