The Water Lilies Are Back!

The Water Lilies are back! Twenty years ago Lake Delavan went through a massive reclamation project because it was a dying lake. They dropped down the lake a few feet which meant that the entire bay on both sides of camp had NO water. We took the opportunity to deepen the bay on the north side of our island. So we dug down and removed about two feet of mud. There went the Water Lilies! They have been coming back slowly year by year but it wasn't until THIS year that they cover most of the far end of the marsh just like I remember them from before the reclamation. The are so pretty and they provide nice cover for our animals.



Can you find the camouflaged frog?
