Summer at the Refuge

Water lily - Cash Lake Summer - and the living is easy. For grasses and wetland plants, time to reach full growth. For wildlife young, time to learn and grow while still in parents' care. For people, time for a vacation, or, maybe, just relax by the lake shore waiting for a fish to bite.
