Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Sunday, August 23, 2020. Lake Level is 216.47 feet. All is quiet out here this morning. The sky is quiet and gray. The river is serene and flowing towards the ocean. A fledgling great blue heron was resting quietly before he went to find himself a snack. Have a blessed day, take care be safe. And, oh do be well!

CategoryStretch!
Jordan Lake: How to define the word “STRETCH”! This 4-year-old bald eagle did a magnificent stretch and leap into the air when it launched. I reckon you could also use the photo to define “POWER”!

Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, August 20, 2020. The lake level is at 217.22 feet. Very colorful sunrise this morning. And the ospreys were ornaments against the sky. Have a blessed day, take care. Be very very well.
Surveying HIS world!
Jordan Lake, Haw River: While out with Captain Doug on the lake yesterday, we spotted this fledgling great blue heron. The youngster was hatched this spring, but, his young age doesn’t keep him from knowing with absolute certainty that all of the shoreline belongs to him. He walked the fallen tree to the end and surveyed his world.

Jordan Lake Dam, Haw River, Thursday, August 13, 2020. I think we can pretty safely bet that the pile of clouds stacking high up there is signaling that summer is still with us and more unsettled weather is to come. For the moment, the formation is beautiful to look at and so is its reflection in the waters of the Haw River. Take care, be safe. Stay very, very well.
