Got out twice this week to see what's growing along the mid-lake shoreline and also Pennacook Cove, once by SUP and once by Kayak. I haven't yet installed the Avenza tracker so don't have that cool feature to share, but will do!
Happily, what I saw was "the usual" for this time of year - nothing of concern.
On the fun side:
the first several white water lillies do seem to be popping this week
the loons or ducks or both have been BUSY chomping all the Pickerlweek flowers and leaves in Pennacook - a loon pair was busy fishing for their breakfast for a good 20 minutes of our visit to the Cove today. I did fine a stand still in flower near to our property and snapped the photo below.
outside my zones, but we did paddle up as far as the Thorne islands to catch a glimpse of the loon nest (from afar!) ... we were just a day early for the reported chick hatch but did see a parent carefully nurturing its egg.
between Sandy Beach and the Thorne islands is a whole farm of freshwater mussels... didn't harvest any, don't worry, but they are abundant over in that shallow area. (middle section of Zone 6)
And we're off!
