Today, Dave and I headed back to what has become one of our favorite paddling venues, Fish Lake, about a two-hour drive through the Willamette National Forest, into the Cascades.  Every winter, it becomes a lake.  When we return in September, it will once again be a meadow.

Paddling in for a close up of one of many water falls:

A bit of flora:

And fauna:

THE SWIMMING LESSON

THE SITTING DUCKS

Dave heading out in search of some fauna to take home:  tadpoles

And the faithful Subaru is always waiting:

To see Fish Meadow, check back here in September when, once again, Fish Lake will have magically vanished.
