It was a breezy day, so altho' the temperature was a little high, it felt OK...the past few weeks, I've been doing things like this, telling myself I didn't feel poorly when I did the above. But this morning, when I felt achy & chilly and noticed the room thermostat showed I should be feeling HOT...well, I didn't really need the thermometer to tell me I needed to stay in bed today.
It's been only a week since I last posted photos, but now I can't exert myself doing a complete drawing (if you do serious art, you know how much it takes out of you), so here's another photo story from something in a folder, only 6 pictures this time.
This carp phenomenon sometimes happens in May after heavy rains, when the ones in the pond at back of the park instinctively head for spawning grounds on the higher level.

| 2 Strong carp jump up the creek |

| 3 Swim, shimmy, moving any way they can |

| 4 In the shallow water |

| 5 Until they reach Duck Pond |

| 6 Dent knows it's not fable; she made that trek! |
Some of my carp friends, like Dent, who made it to Duck Pond, were captured by human custodians and returned, a little at a time, to Deeper Pond. After all, there were 27 carp that came that year. I was happy to see all of them, but that was way too many for park personnel!
