さくばんは9じかんねました。- I slept for two hours last night. 🛌

It has been

raining every single day here, so I am limited in my activities, even though I am off for the first three days this week. It's really a pity, I was hoping to do at least one full day hike, but the best I get to do is short evening excursions when the storms have moved off. 

Here is a photo series from yet another evening visit to the lake about a week ago. A Canada goose family was enjoying the water and a Great Blue Heron was on the prowl obscured by the foliage. The lupines once again offer so many photo opportunities, especially with the dam in the background still with a powerful water runoff. In the summer, it slows to only a trickle, but the rains have been so abundant, all the creeks are running high.

The weather is really continuing to be extreme around the world. The Czech Republic just recorded its first F4 tornado with tremendous destructions and several lives lost, while temperature records are being broken in the Pacific Northwest. Also, the province of British Columbia in Canada has been baking in the heat. 47.9 degrees is a new record and just unheard of. That's hotter than Las Vegas! It truly makes me worried about our future.

    @Maki yes, are they beautiful? I could just keep shooting in that spot. In fact I went back there just yesterday again, will probably have more to show. It's become my favorite spot.

    I heard these news. Global warming is progressing, and I’m worried about our future as you said. The flowers are beautiful and the goose families are cute!

    I’m glad you slept well last night 😊😴. Oh, what’s the weather 😵‍💫⛈🌪☀️🔥. I would rather not use my car to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. It might be a very small step, but I cannot help doing something for saving this beautiful planet 🌎.

    @rimi yes, if you have the option of public transportation that is certainly preferred. Sadly, here the dependency on cars is almost universal.

    @Jake I know, there is no choice but to use a car 🚙 with your rich natural environment. The land of the United States are far larger than Japan😅.
