No Horizon and Thundering Protest....

Walking along "our" lake never gets old. It's a pretty grey and gloomy day in Port Washington this morning....a bit of a drizzle. So Fenway and I had to put on some rain gear for the important 9:00 Necessary Walk.

We went out walked behind the water treatment plant....looking out at the quiet water I could hardly see any horizon....grey "nothingness" stretched across the water. Even our lighthouse was "gone". I should have been able to see it sitting at the end of the breakwater. Nope.

This lake changes every day....from fierce raging surf to calm Carribbean blue. Watching Lake Michigan is one of our new favorite hobbies.

We continued on and went behind Newport Shores Restaurant....across the street from our condo building. The restaurant is next to the harbor and, this time of year, the harbor is home to lots of ducks and geese. I realized that none of them were in the quiet water, but many were standing in the parking lot. As we approached a few loud honks greeted our progress.....spreading throughout the flock as they slowly began to walk back toward the water.....until Fenway charged to the end of his leashe. The geese took off in protest....all in one huge burst of energy. The noise from the flapping wings surprised me! I guess I've never been that close to so many geese taking flight....it was loud!

Nature close to home....fascinating.....
