I enjoyed this. And that is kind of an amazing photo of a chimney swift in flight. Well done!

I love the John Burroughs quote - that is me whenever I am feeling stressed...and that is quite often these days!

A beauty break is just what I needed. The choreography of those Franklin Gulls makes me smile!

It seems fine! It was only in there for about 5 seconds - but I have been afraid of that happening when I'm standing on a dock or somewhere I couldn't easily retrieve it so I finally just ordered a strap for it. Also, that lake water is not exactly hygienic! :)

Your little white flowers are a Symphyotrichum sp. You might be able to compare them on iNat to figure out which. I always have a hard time with them.

Cool, thank you! My phone tells me these things now but I am never sure it's correct. :)
