Yes, the day really was this beautiful.
I took my legal pads and pens and clipboard and water and sunglasses and camera and hat and phone down to the dock.

During one moment, I saw 3 speedboats, 1 pontoon boat, 1 water skier, 1 sailboat, 1 train, 1 osprey and 1 dead floating fish.

Otherwise it was pretty quiet on the lake.

So this is what the end of summer looks like.

And now, for the incredible photos of the dead floating fish…

He was probably dropped by an osprey or an eagle who overestimated how big a fish he could lift from the lake.
It’s a pretty big fish.
Not a River Monster, of course, but still…

So…it’s the end of summer.  Darn.
