A Day on the Lake
There are quite a few ocean/sea/sailing kits and graphics available, but only a few graphics involving lakes. I have lots of photos of days on the lake--boating, skiing, tubing, fishing, and swimming, among other things. I would love to see some graphics and kits I could use for these memories.

I have been thinking this very thing! I live in Michigan, so we frequently visit the Great Lakes, which we love. However, when I scrap my photos of them, I can't exactly use graphics like sea creatures, ocean shore birds, etc. We use jet skis and pontoon boats, we collect rocks, we beachwalk, we sometimes see ultralights flying along the coast. We have the Mighty Mac (Mackinac Bridge) nearby, and Mackinac Island where no motorized vehicles are allowed, and beautiful sunrises and sunsets. We have martins and seagulls, bald eagles, hummingbirds, black-capped chickadees (my teenage son's favorite bird, which rarely seems to show up in kits), tons of parks along the water that often have concerts during the summer months, campgrounds, fireflies, and star-gazing. We do have a lot of lighthouses, we do have storms and waves (sometimes pretty big ones!), we do have all sorts of boats, so we're not THAT different from the ocean/sea kits, but a lot of things just don't work for us.

YES YES YES!!!! I had to double check to make sure I didn't submit this idea without having memory of it. I Agree!!! There are SO many ocean themed "Vitamin Sea" things, but unfortunately as a lifelong midwesterner, they only kinda remind me of the quintessential elderly relatives' nautical themed guest bathroom, lighthouse night light, shells on the wall and all (literally, in my part of the midwest, that is the only thing that is nautical themed around here). With that said, I want things that are lake specific.
I have like, 12,000 pictures at the lake that is literally right around the corner from where I live. colorful sunrises, sunsets, gulls, canadian geese, ducks, fish, gray herons, trees, moons, boats, turtles, rocks, lake marina, and all. Sometimes I would pop by the marina just to destress and feed the fish and take pics of the birds.
Also, I grew up walking down to the boat ramp from my grandma's lake house down in the ozarks that is literally 3/4 mile up from the boat ramp. I used to take the biggest jacket I could find and cram my pockets full of really cool rocks (mostly chert and fossils). We used to skip rocks on the water and look at the tiny shells on the shore, as well and the latest drifting dead tree from the most recent flood.
There is such a shortage of speficially lake themed packs. Definitely. Which is why I thought I contributed this but I guess not.
