Lake Clear, New York - Part 2

I had some trouble taking photos along a certain stretch of Route 30 in the hamlet of Lake Clear because road crews were working and I had to stop with all the other cars and then proceed with all the other cars. I couldn't stop during one of the "proceed" episodes in order to snap a picture. I missed what I'm sure would have been some stellar shots of beautiful homes with flowers blooming profusely, but I did manage to capture a few gems such as this woodsy Adirondack home:

And this small one, which may have been a summer cottage all nestled beneath the maples and pines:

And back at the end of a long driveway through the trees was this home sitting right on the lake:

This beautiful old home looked at first as if it might be abandoned, but I then decided it was just in need of a bit of paint and roof coating:

Mac's Canoe Livery rented canoes for exploring the lake and was brightened by Rugosa Roses near the road and Day Lilies up by the building:

A rather large boat squeezed into a rather small carport. Did that make it a "boatport?":

A very friendly, comfortable looking house sheltered by White Pines and Paper Birch:

Viburnums galore:

A wagon wheel at the mailbox, a boat in the yard and a large patio with an umbrella. These folks knew how to enjoy life:

A series of very old structures which I guessed was once a summer resort. It seemed now to be someone's home:

Old country style living on a spectacular Adirondack lake:

The last house I photographed caught my attention for all its ripped curtains and shades. But there was firewood outside and a light on inside, so I decided that someone, perhaps wisely, had decided not to worry about such trifles as blinds on the front porch. But I was on my way to Floodwood Mountain, so I drove out of Lake Clear and began consulting my map and directions. I'll post about hiking the mountain tomorrow:
