Cascades of Rattling Cicadas

8/20/2023, water R, 82u-v, 9:45-11:45

Wind: 3-6mph from S
OC: 7

Trees alive with sound
-didgeridoo cascades of rattling cicadas
Gorgeous, golden sparkling water
Bright green specks of algae blooms in 3
Three curious green herons stand on islands of 3/4
Lucky close-up of cormorant when rounding the corner of 1N sandbar
Oh no – Big Mama snapping turtle floats in 1NE – what could have happened to such a massive animal? 🙁
Hope sometime soon it never has to be said again: lower water levels than ever today
Despite small tragedies, Mother Nature continues on without judgement, fear or sorrow
