Time was short and the temperature and humidity high when I rolled out on the OAC Rambler along the Mystic Valley Parkway before dinner, cranking along and taking in the various scenes unfolding on this Deep Summer afternoon.
What was seen? Upper Mystic Lake, Shannon Beach:
Upper Mystic Lake, Tufts Bakow Sailing Pavillion:
Lower Mystic Lake, taking a dip at the boat ramp:
Lower Mystic Lake, dufus cutting capers on a jet ski:
I believe the aforementioned dufus had been gunning his jet ski down the early stages of the Mystic River, raising a wake through the narrows. Some dufus did, and I'm hoping for an economy of dufuses here...
After the ride and before dinner, the long-promised thunderstorm came along and soaked me as I sat on the porch, sipping a glass of wine. The rain was cooling, and welcome, as far as it went. No pictures of that.
