Abstract Art on a Northern Lake

[jesse_the_k]

I’m staying near a northern Wisconsin lake at 45.658965, -89.497625, where I’ll be revelling in 15:45 hours of daylight on the summer solstice. The logged-over forest is mostly red pine, and wow they’re pollinating—creating very abstract art near the dock

Pine pollen forms semi-opaque circles over shallow sandy beach

Thick clumps of chartreuse pine pollen blob into a seahorse-shaped island on shiny dark lake waters

Rippled dark lake surface dusted with lime green pine pollen, reminiscent of Venetian marbled end papers.
