We're having yet another lake drawdown of 2.5 feet this spring to repair the floodgates and upper flashboards of our dam, so I seized the opportunity to get out in my kayak today (and before it started raining again). It was a perfect spring sky, threatening rain and sun on and off all day, but providing the most incredible light and cloud show!
I was also rewarded with sightings of basking painted turtles, frantic red-winged blackbirds, gloriously pink rhodoras
grey tree frogs trilling, a beaver tail slap,
and the most enormous snapping turtle beneath my kayak. I had to remind myself to remember this when I swim and walk barefoot through the shallows this summer.
What a glorious day I had!
