Elbow Islands Park by Korice Moir
We got engaged at Elbow Islands Park 17 years ago! :) Took family down to the river trail today. Chose not to put Water Rangers test instruments in as warning of whirling disease in the Elbow River. Just used test strip to record pH, alkalinity, etc. Dark clouds rolling in. Storm brewing. Heavy rain later that night.

In Road to Nowhere by Lerena Ashevak
Dead Dog Lake is a small lake in a residential area. People tend to wash their cars in this lake, there's snowmobile races on top of it during the winter when it's completely frozen over. Doesn't actually have dead dogs.

Kelso Beach, Owen Sound by Korice Moir
Cold cold water (5 degrees less!) in Owen Sound compared to Thornbury just east down the road. Not too many people swimming at this spot. Geese (swimming in formation) don’t seem to mind. What was most noticeable was the lack of beach. Very high water level have swallowed all the sand! Just a narrow patch of beach is visible. Large trees surrounded by water.
