Lake beams absolutely brilliantly
Sweet scents sore
Birds sing out joyously, led by purple martins
Sole nesting goose her private 1 island
-Today mate floats nearby with watchful eye
Wind pushes to negate strokes
Turtles have not yet emerged up onto their banks and branches
Light bright green continues to climb up hills into tree tops
Fluffed umbrellas lift from trees, float gracefully to water’s surface
Another goose couple in 1N silently leaves their nest with my approach
F18s dive bomb and glide swiftly over surface
Shadow of a paddlefish
Absolutely astounding sparkling water
Another goose decided to Nest on what’s left of a disappearing island in 1
Goose couples nest on every possible Island in 3
Big snapping turtle hides in mud of 3SW
Vultures land in 3/4E at Goose’s nest
-Geese slap their wings silently in vain to protect
Bald eagle flies overhead towards its nest
Wind only increases – can’t stop paddling even for a second
Magnificence surrounds
