High Water
Took some time to go to Port Bruce on Saturday afternoon, after two extremely taxing days. It was an emotionally/physically exhausting experience that I may some day be able to talk about. Right now, I'm just glad it's over, and I'm trying to move on, best I can.
I had seen this paddler/fisher far out in the lake earlier, and while I had my back to Lake Erie most of the time I was there (standing knee deep in calm water looking for lake glass), I did turn around in time to see him paddle through the light's reflection. I thought the water was warm, though others were complaining about the cold. Almost fell in a couple times, with both cameras strapped to me. lol I have noticed a very strange phenomenon this spring/summer along the shore of Lake Erie. Both at Port Stanley, and Port Bruce, there is an almost complete absence of seagulls. I've never seen anything like it. I saw starlings, grackles, and crows, but, no seagulls. Weird. I should add, the water level is generally about 3-4 feet lower than you see here. We have had a lot of rain in the Great Lakes Basin this year.
