Colter Bay of Jackson Lake in Grand Tetons WY, with water down about 10 feet -- not because of a spell of dry weather, but instead due to irrigation by Idaho water rights holders. Large concrete blocks with floats attached are boat anchorages. 2022-06-01 #dailypicturetheme #spell

This dog might or might not be in pain, but certainly isn't having a good time. For no good reason he swam down the Yellowstone River 1/3 mile from a raft stopped at a gravel bar, then had trouble making his way back, although on shore part of the time. 2023-07-15 #dailypicturetheme #pain
