The gap at Gilberts Hole.

Quite a few years ago and the lake level was starting to come up and Rabbit island was a island again. Bet you could take a boat through there today instead of dragging the bottom of your kayak.

A little different wave action than yesterday's pic showed.

Middle of June with a front moving in, causing the lake to turn a little lumpy and bumpy.

Early summer at the Daisy Farm creek.

June ice near the Pallisades on the north shore. It is not uncommon for the ice to be there past July 4th..

One of the reasons that you should not leave your boots unattended. The island foxes do like a new chew toy every now and then. 

These Mott loop marsh marigolds are some of the first flowers to show up in the spring on the island.

At the triangle trail pond, a early in the year turtle.

More spring flowers on the loop.

Taking a walk at night on Mott? Might be helpful if you took a flashlight with you.  

Almost to the tower in late April to take the window guards off for the summer.

On the Mott loop early one spring, really is a spring pic, even if there is a little snow on the moss and the leaves are red.

Late April on the Mott loop, the water, air and rocks are still a bit chilly.

Skunk cabbage on the Mott loop in the early spring.

Spring flowers on the tower trail.

A week after the opening boat and the water in Sargent lake is still pretty hard.

Springtime cow at Motts picnic cove.

Island opening week. Somewhere under my feet are the ends of those generator cooling water pipes. Have to find the ends, dig them out, hook-up the rest of the pipes so that they reach the water. Some years it is all open beach and some years it is like this.

Raven over Mott. Smart, tough birds.

Many years ago, fairly early in the morning and already under the bridge with the opening boat.

And for today, a Mott loop late fall flower.

Another set of Mott loop spring flowers.
