Hanging Out By The River

It's Hot

Not sure where you live, but here it's super hot. It's close to 40°C and there aren't many places that are suitable for that kind of weather to hang around. Since I get bored staying indoors all the time, I had to go for a walk... somewhere... by the water.

The big river nearby is probably the best area to stay somewhat cooler. Wind blows frequently and there is plenty of shade from the large trees growing here. There are also plenty of pebble stones on the shore which are fantastic for skipping them on the water. And when one looks closer...

... one can find a lot of aquatic life! There is plenty of river shrimp living here and even a lobster?! If so, I didn't know we had that kind of animals living in the river - I guess it's a good sign since it shows that the water is clean.

There were also quite a few number of geese walking and swimming around the area. While they can get aggressive when getting too close to them (especially with young), they were rather friendly that day. I saw many people giving them bread; not sure if that's actually good for them.

hey my friend this post is such a peaceful escape from that intense heat you are dealing with finding those hidden signs of aquatic life like shrimp and potentially a lobster is so cool and it really says a lot about the health of your local river ecosystem

it is also really thoughtful of you to question the impact of feeding geese bread as many people do not realize that it can be harmful to them

if you could spend a whole day exploring just that riverbank what other secrets or hidden creatures do you think you might stumble upon

I think those are fresh water crayfish or crawfish … We have them here on Lake Superior too.

it’s good to have a river or lake to cool off
