Photography Now & Then #135
As we got closer to our turnoff from I40 coming home from Little Rock today, it got cloudier and cloudier. Temperatures had been in the high 80s all the back, but had started dropping. By the time we got home it was 81° and very cloudy, with rain off to the south. We thought we might get some rain, but it held off. By around 5 PM, the sky was getting really dark and angry looking. All that was forecast was some rain, no severe weather, and that’s all we got.

Mille Lacs Lake (Wikipedia) (also called Lake Mille Lacs or Mille Lacs) is a large but shallow lake in Minnesota. It is located in the counties of Mille Lacs, Aitkin, and Crow Wing, roughly 100 miles north of the Minneapolis-St. Paul metropolitan area. It is the state’s second largest inland lake at 132,516 acres (536 km2), after Red Lake. The maximum depth is 42 feet. Depth ranges of 20 to 38 foot cover much of the main lake.
The largest lake in the Brainerd Lakes Area, it came to be called “Mille Lacs Lake” as the area was also called “Region of Thousand Lakes” (pays des mille lacs in French). Mille Lacs means “thousand lakes” in French.
