Kelly Lake pontooners venture out on their pontoon despite the fog. Unknown fisherman tries his luck inspite of the fog! I hope they’re not on a collision course! Roger (Photo by Shirley Birr)

Geese making their way south stopped over on Kelly Lake. Spooked by our appraoch with our pontoon, they took flight but landed only a few yards away. Roger (Photo by Shirley Birr)

On our pontoon ride-about we noted the gulls returning. It seems they are more abundant both spring and the end of summer here on Kelly Lake. Shirley caught this one on camera from our pontoon yesterday, fleeing the advance of our boat; seeminly dragging its feet! The gull and fall are in the air! Roger
