It has been way too long since my last post. I’ve taken some photos at the lake since then that I’ll share now. I’ll spread out the best photos over a couple posts.
We finally got out on the lake in early May. Mostly, there were turtles.
I like to paddle up Horton Creek early in the year, just to see what’s changed. The first thing I noticed was the beaver lodge at the first bend was almost completely gone. It was clearly abandoned and collapsed. There were some signs of beaver activity along the creek.
Paddling a bit further we first heard, then saw, the beaver dam.
The marsh marigolds were in full bloom.
As we came back out to the lake, I saw this red-winged blackbird high in a tree.
As we headed back home I spotted this eagle high in a tree.

I think I’ll stop here. This was just from our first trip on the lake this spring. I’ll show more in my next post. Until then, have a wonderful 4th of July!
