Boyd Lake: Ebb & Flow

      Ebb and Flow sounds like a comic strip.  At least it does to old guys who remember Eb & Flo.  If you don’t remember, never mind.  It’s a footnote you don’t have to read.

    It’s really the wet spring that is featured here on the shores of Boyd Lake.  The early pictures were taken April 2, 2023, the later ones on June 5.

 




 

 

     All the lakes are filled to overflowing.

 

     Connection between Heinricy Lake and Boyd Lake.  In April, you could easily walk across the neck where the swimmer is.  The water is probably 8 or 10 feet deep now.  July 2.

 

     Connection between Heinricy Lake and Horseshoe Lake.  The water hasn’t quite reached the high-water mark.

      The dock floats.  In April, it was downhill to get to it.  It’s almost level with the sidewalk now.

 

The pelicans and herons liked the high water.  The pelicans have flown, probably getting too warm for the big-billed buggers.

        There’s still plenty of snow in them thar hills, too.

 


 

         The beginning of July, a good time to pause and smell the roses.

 

     And the sunflowers.

 


    And whatever they are.
