Findley Lake on a Friday Night

You can tell when summer is really really here
when we start kayaking on days other than
Saturdays or Sundays.
Here is Findley Lake on a Friday evening.
Human numbers were low.
A few boats but not a crowd of fisherpeople.
And barely any picnicers.
Lots of great blue herons.
We counted as many as 8 in the air at once.
A few green herons
And a Baltimore Oriole bathing on the edge of the lake.
