Found this almost-drowned butterfly in the lake last week; I don’t think our rescue was enough for him/her to survive.

Under a grey sky, I might consider loon calls plangent, but probably not if it’s sunny.

Plangent

A loud, reverberating sound considered melancholy. (From the Latin word for lamenting.)
