Spring has finally arrived at Dewart Lake,
today it is 66 degrees and most sunny. The sky is blue with white clouds scattered
about. This morning I spent the time in the cottage doing some spring-cleaning;
might I say yuck, however it needs it and if I do a little each time up it’s
not as hard to do. The harder part will be later this summer when scraping of
old paint and touch up painting is done.
About 2 o’clock, I said enough is enough and decided to come
out and enjoy the sun. I did trim the grass a bit, in case the neighbors decide
to mow. About 45 minutes to an hour later, I decided I was glad I had a pair of
shorts. It was no nice to feel the sun on the skin again.
The lake is alive with boats, fishermen, kayakers and I do
not know what the other things were. They were like wave runner or skidoo; however,
they were standing up.
The birds are active too. I have seen red winged black
birds, male and female, blue heron, bald eagle, geese, ducks, swans, nuthatch,
blue jay and some little bird that is unfamiliar to me.
At first, I thought it
was a baby duck, however, no parents around so that was unlikely. Getting a
good look at them is challenging too as soon as you try to focus, they submerge
and swim under water and pop up where they are not expected.
Of course, as I am writing I still have my camera near by in
hopes to get even a better picture of the Bald Eagle. Although, I think it will
be touch beating the photograph of him/her capturing a fish for lunch. If you
have not seen that great capture, you can see it on RedGage
or Bubblews.
In the mean time I am enjoying this beautiful day filled
with sunshine, how about you?
