Lake Barcis is a beautiful lake located in the Dolomites in North East Italy. Nestled in the mountains, this lake is gorgeous from all view points. Sitting next the lake is a charming Italian town that just adds to the view. I had the chance to visit this lake many times because it was located less than an hour from where I use to live in Italy. I will say that the water is really cold so you will only find people swimming in it in the dead of summer. This was our cool off place when I couldn’t handle the heat of Italian summer any longer. Located about an hour from the city Pordenone and maybe two hours from Venice, it is a great place to visit for some natural beauty.

The other reason I picked this picture is the water on certain days is teal in color (as pictured). September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, which is a cause very close to my heart. My mom was diagnosed in 2010. She is doing well but it has been a fight. I encourage everyone to learn as much as they can about this scary disease, because it is scary. There is almost no test to find it and doesn’t have many symptoms. I didn’t know anything about it until we found about about my mother and I want to share this knowledge with as many people as possible. I celebrate every day that I still have my mom in my life! We are lucky.
