Gray sky, pink sunlight filtering through the smoky haze. Slight breeze from the north. Small groups of people at both beaches, a couple of sails and a kayak on the wtaer. Large stands of blooming goldenrod on the northern shore and in the northeast marsh. Two monarch butterflies sipping at stems of purple Prairie ironweed, abundant in the marsh.
