It was to Lake Wichita Park I ventured today on this final day of the 2024 version of April.
Driving onto the parking lot, with Lake Wichita coming into view, I was pleased to see the lake level has greatly risen from the recent downpours.
And for what seems at least a year of being dry docked, the new Lake Wichita kayak launching dock is finally floating.
Walking out onto the floating dock for the first time I was surprised that the little wave action was making the dock a bit dizzying to walk on.
This dock will be basically a carnival ride with big waves, methinks.
That slot you see below the stair steps is the kayak launch pad. It slopes into the lake.
I cut my nature communing a bit short today due to being attacked by biting bugs. Of late, after one of my walks, I will find I've been bug bitten, but have never seen the biting bug.
Today, I saw them, multiple little black bugs on my arms. I swatted the first one I saw, which caused a burst of blood, like a mosquito bite, but these were not mosquitoes.
I have never had a mosquito bite in Texas. In Washington I never went a Summer without getting at least one annoying mosquito bite.
I may curtail my nature communing til a good HOT heat wave fries all the bugs...
