Yesterday, hearing a loud chainsaw, I raised my trusty 18x binoculars to see what was going on across Winter Harbor. All I could see was a new clearing and a white crane.
But also seen, were black stripes across nearly every boulder in view. Winnipesaukee's ""bathtub ring" has returned! It was 2004 when first written on these pages. Back then, there were fewer than a dozen boulders (with stripes) across the way. The "ring" doesn't appear in pre-WWII films made of Lake Winnipesaukee.
ETA:
Introducing duckweed into my 125-gallon fresh water aquarium, I saw that it was a very delicate floating two-leaved plant, with a tiny single root. The previously-depicted image is possibly of the same family, but more robust.
Last season's observations with all the rain:
