farewell

and so ends our blissful stay at the lake...

rain

the storm

the calm

diving

sam takes a plunge

floating

lord of the fly

the annoyingly omnipresent summertime flies of kilroy bay

great blue heron

Herons call mainly when startled or alarmed, uttering a loud, raucous grak or kraak. In late summer, young herons disperse widely and may be encountered at small ponds, mountain waters, or even in backyard pools, wherever fish are plentiful.
