Creek running low. Blue sky, breeze from the south. Beaches and paths busy. Dozens of sailboats on the water; a few fishing boats; fishermen wading off the northern shore. Muskrat assiduously ferrying leafy sprigs to the embankment near the concession stand. Blue jay calling from an oak tree on the northern shore. Pink monarda blooming in the northeast marsh.
