We were in search of the Bog Monster.
We saw its movement under the water. First, it went west, and then it went east. It left a wake behind as it slithered just beneath the newly opened surface of water.
But, it never presented itself. Our guess is that it was a muskrat, who could see us, but didn't want us to see him (or her).
However, we did see ...
Swirls and whirls ...
soldiers at attention ...
new shoots from underground roots (Does anyone know if this is skunk cabbage?) ...
reflections on underwater artwork ...
And outreached arms collecting the warm spring sun.We ended our afternoon adventure with a culinary journey of the Polish kind. We feasted on pierogies, cabbage and noodles, potato pancakes, sausage, and sauerkraut at Mary Ann's in Broadalbin. An overflowing plate at Mary Ann's is worth every step, even if you don't ever set your eyes on the Saratoga Bog Monster.

What wonderful shots!! Although the leaves are similar, I've never seen skunk cabbage start out red. Maybe a different variety than what we have up here.
Love the water reflection!
Thanks. Had a great time. We need to do it soon if you want to avoid the snakes.
