The Kolden Report: : Boats; birds and beavers; Fort Peck Camping; May 16; 2012

Hello, kids!
 
In my last report, I had the 1942 shot listed as 61 years.  I need more sleep! 
 

 
 
Lake shore mussel.
 

 
Coyote tracks.
 

 
Bug creek bank.
 

 
Give a hoot, don't pollute.
 

 
Again?
 

 
Boating bliss.
 

 
Nothing like having the lake to yourself!
 

 
Life.
 

 
Ending day.
 

 
Conglomerate.
 
 
Evening flight.

 
BIG moon lake.
 

 
Sunrise sky.
 

 
Ft Peck Canadians.
 

 
Gull gaze.
 

 
When I looked at this image, I thought it looked artificial!  But it's not.
 

 
You  know where you are when you are here.
 

 
I was overjoyed to see my first crocus!  (AKA pasque flower).
  It TRULY meant spring was here.
 

 
I spent some time admiring the tender blossoms, in various stages of open, in the soft, warm sun of spring.
 

 
Wildflowers are good for the soul.
 

 
I was shocked when I looked at these trees, each cut off evenly.  Apparently the water level had been thus and busy beavers had pared them all down at exactly the same elevation.  Wild!
 

 
It appeared as if a manicurist had been at work!
 

 
Quite a sight!
 
 
 

 
 
Coil collection.  (A dock?)
 

 
What was this? 
 

 
Shadow shapes intrigued me.
 

 
Once upon a set line.
 
 
 
 
 

 
Rock creek.
 
Stay tuned, more to come!
