Round-a-bouts seem to be the big thing ....
The Great left-coast State of Washington has been installing round-a-bouts.
They are less expensive than, say, an overpass with ramps, etc.
The approach is marked, speed drops to 35, then 25 miles per hour.
Accidents still happen but at much slower speeds. Crumpled fenders beat broken bones.

There is much oil and many uses for it – one list has 6,000 products. There will be a long long tail as it is used.
There are reports of "abiotic oil" – ignore that myth, although there is a bit. Synthetic oil is a different issue and is now produced with more to follow.

A beautiful Rainbow in our front Yard
Your photo shows the reversal of colors in the two rainbows, and the increase in brightness inside the primary rainbow. The region between the two rainbows is a bit darker than the sky just outside the secondary rainbow. In your image, this is most apparent on the right side.
Quite nice, and fits with the known physics – found on the web.
Very nice.
I saw an image taken with a colander held near a wall with the sunlight making several dozen small images similar to your last image. Each image was about the size of a quarter. I suppose there would be an optimum distance to get the sharpest ring.
My chance will be in January, 2029.
After a couple of hard freezes and a 40 mph wind go back. Look for a better place to see the bridge and set the focus for that distance - not the trees.
A few trims with clippers might help, but could be a bad idea legally.
Report back in December. :)
Darn. You are going to miss out on several photogenic opportunities.
Great photos from a grand place.
I've done about 50 volunteer days of trail work there.
Recommended. Thanks.

Ok, I'll say it: 10 seconds of thought and 30 seconds of shifting would have resulted in a better image.
If a group that large is actually playing you have to deal with it.
In this case, dealing with the situation was possible.
I know, sometimes stuff happens. My wife played fiddle in a group, so I am familiar with "situations."
Good thoughts to all, however.
Find her HS yearbook and get that to work with, or just use it.
Likely, the photographer for the yearbook has an original file or negative; maybe several.
Ask a few of her friends if they have photos.
Making her look good with just this image seems a Herculean task.
Investigate Pymatuning Lake on the OH/PA border, 25 miles south of the Lake. Geese and carp are what I remember from about 55 years ago.
There are a dozen water falls in the Cleveland area, such as at Chagrin Falls.

I use a MS Windows system and use "Snipping Tool" -- because the only purpose is to show a few friends what I have found of interest in my world. If, then, I want to add text or graphics or make some adjustment to an image, I use GIMP.
Note the "only purpose" mentioned above. If you need better, others have provided advice.
What I see also has the top of the bird's reflection missing -- at the bottom edge.
On you next outing, I suggest a smaller animal -- that is, "zoom" out a little.
