From the Lake’s Edge
Plans changed today after I arrived at Lake Meyer in Winneshiek County. I thought I was going to be observing turtle research, but that may have to happen another time.
Since I was there I thought I would shoot some photos. All of these were recorded from the edge of the lake. I did not go on the water today.
The kayaks were part of an educational session for naturalists.

Adjacent to the park I noticed a very visual display of contour strip farming. This was almost artistic and hopefully keeps the soil on the landowners ground and out of the lake. Good job!
