[Leica] IMG: My Fourth

[Jim Nichols]

My grandson celebrates his birthday on July 4th, so I spent the 
afternoon with family at his recently acquired house on a local lake.  
For the older folks, it was a day for fishing and boating. For the 
gr-grandkids, it was swimming and rides on a Seadoo and in a canoe.  For 
me, it was visiting and picture taking, ending with a meal from the 
grill.  For a day that started off with rain, it was a fine day.

The lake is a TVA impoundment that furnishes potable water to the two 
towns in the county.  This tree, at the water's edge and alongside a 
boat ramp, has seen a rough life, but still lives.  Its character caught 
my eye.

My son owns a canoe.  After an unsuccessful time fishing from it, he was 
commandeered by his grandkids who wanted to go exploring, around the 
bend, and up the nearest creek.  I watched one group depart.

Comments and critiques welcomed.

For those who might wonder, yes, all of the kids wore flotation gear, as 
did most of the adults.
