Uneven gray sky, light breeze from the north. More than a dozen sailboats, a couple of fishing boats. A few mallards, two geese on the edge of the northern beach. Wildflowers in bloom along the creek and the lake shore: white snakeroot, zigzag goldenrod, tall goldenrod, cardinal flower, white aster, purple aster, gray-headed coneflower (still, especially along the creek), purple ironweed, smooth oxeye, spotted touch-me-not, spotted knapweed, smooth blue aster, stiff goldenrod, others. Bunch of red jack-in-the-pulpit berries next to the creek.
