Photo taken from the dam breastworks on May 24, 2015. The lake is 60 acres in size. Because only electric motors are permitted on the lake this a usually a peaceful place even when lots of boats are on the water. We also saw several kayakers on the lake today.
The Red Spotted Purple butterfly has red spots underneath its forewings not visible in this photo.
The hawkweed is one of our common field wildflowers. It comes in an orange color also.
