A warning about water quality at a beach along our lake walk.  We do not play in the water here anyway, but it reminds us how much we appreciate clean water.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree - so true on the Washburn lake trail.

A seasonal bouquet from along the trail - common tansy, clover, spotted knapweed and some "brown" weed.
