Gray Day on White Lake

June 16, 2011

Looking Upriver near the mouth of the lakeLooking upriver near the mouth of the White River where it flows through a delta into White Lake.

The lighting of the overcast day seemed to lend itself to a Black & White treatment for this series.

Haze over the marshFishermen like this spot on the marsh for catching bluegills and other panfish all summer long.

Swan on the deltaSwans like to nest in the shallow waters of the river delta in the spring. Herons and Egrets hunt small fish and frogs in the summer, and in the fall Sand Hill Cranes lay over here for a few days during their southward migration.

View from Lion's Park over the river deltaThis is a view from above Lion's Park in Whitehall across the river delta toward Montague on the north side of the Lake.

Walkway to marshside at Lion's ParkThe boardwalk leading to marshside at the bottom of the hill in Whitehall's Lion's Park.  Early in spring, before the cattails get too tall, visitors can watch swans on their nests and cygnets after they hatch swim with the adults in the few patches of open water.

The public marina in WhitehallThe almost-deserted boat docks at the Whitehall marina. Every season there seem to be fewer boats.  If it weren't for the Sheriff's patrol boats there wouldn't be any business here at all.  The shoreline, however, is a popular place for local fishermen.
