Limnology
noun: The study of bodies of fresh water, such as lakes and ponds.

BLue sky and clouds are reflected in the water.
Between the lily pads, the breeze pats the silvery surface of the water.

Mother Nature ruffles with her gentle touch; like a mother whose child scrapes her knee - it will get worse, but for now all is well. Big winds have threatened much of this continent. We must be careful.

The bullfrog hides in the comfort of an old tree trunk. Hunkering down, awaiting a meal, preferring not to become one!

The boat waves knock him silly. Wild water excoriates the lakeshore.

Gladly seeking succour from the safety of the heron's beak, they entertain me like little ballerinas on the stage.




The water lilies smile at me in the sunlight.

They, too, dance on the water surface as they bounce and bob in the breeze.



The gosling have a biz of fuzz on their heads, their downy feathers blow in the breeze.
