Lake Tomahawk being drained

These shots finished my walk around the lake in early morning on Oct. 10

Tomorrow I'll show you my walk around on Oct. 27




This is apparently where they want to work on the feeding creek.




Today's quote:

I am a child of the Milky Way. The night is my mother. I am made of the dust of stars. Every atom in my body was forged in a star. When the universe exploded into being, already the bird longed for the wood and the fish for the pool. When the first galaxies fell into luminous clumps, already matter was struggling toward consciousness. The star clouds of Sagittarius are a burning bush. If there is a voice in Sagittarius, I’d be a fool not to listen. If God’s voice in the night is a scrawny cry, then I’ll prick up my ears. If night’s faint lights fail to knock me off my feet, then I’ll sit back on a dark hillside and wait and watch. A hint here and a trait there. Listening and watching. Waiting, always waiting, for the tingle in the spine.

  2. ...we have a few bodies of water that are drained in the fall, it's interesting to see what can be found.
