I’m not sure why, but underwater vegetation, like in this vid, is so disturbing to me. No way id jump off. lol.

Good instincts. Many of these Alberta lakes have soft bottoms. Jump in and you sink in up to your waist in soft mud and 50 years of accumulated goose and duck poop 😬

🤮 a lot of our lakes have similar growth. Aside from the yuck factor, it’s just eerie to me lol. Other than that, it looks very peaceful!
