Notes

The grass is very high, and is obstructing visibility for footing. There is holes and rocks that can not be seen through grass. There could be wildlife hidden in the grass, beware.
The grassess were high and some were going to seed. There is a mixture of wildflowers. There is aquatic vegatation present such as millifoil and algae. There is for-get -me -nots that are blooming on the shoreline. There are FMN that are fully submerged underwater and have grown underwater. The algae is dark green puck shaped and long strings that resemble cladaphoria. There was no wildlife present but there was a lot of traffic in this rural area for a Saturday morning.
