BAY CITY BAY<\/h1>\n

I had not been to Bay City Bay since January to photograph.\u00a0 Given the low water on the Mississippi River, I decided to go over and take a look.\u00a0 The weather this Spring was oddly warm;\u00a0 now the dog days of Summer have come and gone.\u00a0 The weather appears to be taken a turn for cooler.\u00a0 No complaints here.<\/p>\n

We often hear about the \u201cdog days\u201d of summer but few know what the expression means. Some say that it signifies hot sultry days \u201cnot fit for a dog,\u201d others suggest it\u2019s the weather in which dogs go mad. The Dog Days of Summer describes the most oppressive period of summer, between July 3rd and August 11th each year. But where did the term come from? And what does it have to do with dogs?<\/p>\n

The phrase is actually a reference to the fact that, during this time, the Sun occupies the same region of the sky as\u00a0Sirius<\/a>, the brightest star visible from any part of Earth and part of the constellation\u00a0Canis Major, the Greater Dog<\/em>. This is why Sirius is sometimes called the\u00a0Dog Star.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\n

In the summer, Sirius rises and sets with the Sun. On July 23rd, specifically, it is in conjunction with the Sun, and because the star is so bright, the ancient Romans believed it actually gave off heat and added to the Sun\u2019s warmth, accounting for the long stretch of sultry weather.<\/p>\n

Thus, the term Dog Days of Summer came to mean the 20 days before and 20 days after this alignment of Sirius with the Sun\u2014July 3 to August 11 each year. – Farmers Almanac<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

These photos where taken August 30th 2021.\u00a0 You can really see how low the water is given the drought throughout most of the Summer.\u00a0 The Algae is rather prolific as well.<\/p>\n
