What is that sticking up out of the water in the first photo?
I hope it’s not the periscope of a Russian submarine — it’s bad enough that they sent reconnaissance balloons over Canada and the U.S.! 😀
That would be Ogopogo, a relative of Scotland’s Nessie. They are both really shy; it’s so difficult to get a picture. I’m actually sending this photo to conservation, after which they will send me for a mental health evaluation.
On the other hand, you’re right, it could be those pesky Russians. They’re probably trying to steal our Ogopogo! Actually, it’s a pylon used to guide boats to a nearby dock. 🙂
Thank you very much, Ally. I’m glad that these photos helped you to get a good start. I’m not a morning person at all, so for me, every bit helps. Cheers.
Thank you very much, Allan. It has cooled off a bit here and we had a good rain on Tuesday night which helped with another nearby fire. It’s so, so dry. We need two weeks of very slow rain. Cheers.

Love the sound of water, whether a cascade or the tide hitting the shore. Have a great day.Lynette!

Thanks, Steve. I do as well. It was rather quiet evening, but nevertheless a lovely wave action was occurring. Very relaxing.

I agree, Linda. It sure does, even when we’re shrouded in forest fire smoke.
