#Lake April 13

In April 2025, many of us are joining the 30-Day Nature Observation Challenge. Each day, the goal is to share an observation—a plant, animal, or sound—experienced while spending time outdoors. Wise individuals have noted that observing nature enhances mindfulness, reduces stress, and deepens our appreciation for life’s interconnectedness—a challenge well worth accepting.
Today, my observation is on a LAKE.
As we embark on our 64th consecutive monthly challenge, Jeff Neelon, Jaclyn Donovan, and I feel ready to inspire others to join us. Step outside and let nature awaken your senses—breathe in the fresh air, feel the warmth of the sun, and listen as the world comes alive. Every moment outdoors is a chance to reset, recharge, and reconnect with the beauty around you
Nature Observation 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. Commit to spending time outdoors for the next 30 days, observing a new plant, animal, or sound each day.
- Record your observations to track your journey.
- Share your findings with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
Observation #13-Lake
Last week I got to walk around Bringle Lake in East Texas. It got me reminiscing about growing up in Morristown NJ where I spend a lot of time on the banks of Speedwell Lake. It was 3 blocks from my home on Lake Road. That lake was created by damming up the Whippany River. Great article by Arthur Mierisch on the history of my hometown lake. Here is a photo of the dam.
Most lakes are fed and drained by rivers and streams. Here is a short video
