It was to Sikes Lake I ventured this third Saturday of the 2022 version of August, to do some nature communing, with endorphin acquisition, ahead of the predicted deluge which may put an end to the current drought.
As you can see, via the photo documentation above, and below, Sikes Lake is running out of water.
At the top that is the Sikes Lake Bayou at the west end of the lake, currently with no water flowing into the lake.
Further along the trail we come to a section of Sikes Lake which looks to have totally dried up, and is somehow sprouting some greenery, despite the lack of water.
You cannot see it in the above photo, but at the far east end of this dry section of Sikes Lake a small pond remains.
The above is the aforementioned small pond. A pair of white egrets are the two white dots you see on the right side of the pond.
If the weather forecasters are forecasting accurately, and sometimes they do, on my next visit to Sikes Lake it should be re-filled...
