I was always under the impression
that the natural habitat of this combination of fish and female was the ocean.
But Chautauqua Lake must have provided an unexpected aquatic haven for one such
creature, whom I caught here in this photograph, taking in the sun at Bestor Plaza.
This particular mermaid told me she had been coming
to the Chautauqua Institution for every year of her life,
and that she is originally from northern New Jersey. That last fact made sense,
since I can confirm that at least one other unusual life form had washed up in
this bucolic setting from such a distant origin point: me.
